Capacity and reading needs

Start with the weight range your work requires

Available capacities span light-duty ingredient and portion work through larger shipping and receiving loads. Smaller increments can help with routine measurement work when clearer readings of lighter items are needed.

  • Choose from 11 lb, 25 lb, 50 lb, 55 lb, 100 lb, and 132 lb capacities.
  • Compare graduations such as 1/2 oz, 1 oz, 2 oz, 20 g, and 1/8 lb.
  • Choose dual-pound and kilogram readings when both units are useful for your workflow.
Loading surface

Match the scale surface to the item being weighed

Top-load scales provide defined platforms for placing portions, parcels, and materials. Bowl-equipped models provide a dedicated surface that can help contain ingredients, mixtures, and other loose items.

  • Platform options include 5-3/4 inch square and 9 x 9 inch stainless steel surfaces.
  • Select a removable bowl when containing loose items is a priority.
  • Stainless steel platforms, bowls, and frames are represented across the category.
Work-area considerations
