Your business needs to weigh, and it needs heavy duty weighing scales to do so. And for most industrial weighing applications, if the scale’s capacity needs to be high, platform scales or hanging scales (or crane scales) are used.

But what are the differences between Weighing Scales and Platform Scales ? And, more importantly, which option is right for you?

Which option you go for will depend on the answers to a number of questions — such as what you’re weighing, where you’re weighing it, and what kind of space you have available in your business for a high capacity weighing scale.

Once you’ve read this bog post, you should know which type of weighing scale is best for you — and, once you’ve purchased said weighing scale, you’ll have something entirely suited to your weighing needs.

Do I need a hanging scale or a platform scale?

We should start by giving you an overview of these two very different types of industrial scales.

Platform scales are large, flat weighing scales built with demanding industrial environments in mind. Their size (usually around 1200mm x ...
... 1200mm, but there are many options out there) and shape (flat, square — but sometimes rectangular too!) lends them particularly well to weighing pallets. But, they are ideal for many types of weighing jobs and environments, and most businesses will opt for platform scales when weighing upto 2 tonnes, 3 tonnes and beyond.

Hanging scales rely on suspending an item in the air and measuring the downward force to determine its weight. They also known as crane scales — which, as it happens, is probably a more suitable in the context of this blog post, since hanging scales can also be the small, low capacity luggage scales you may use at home — or the equally small fish scales you may use if you’re a dedicated fisherman.

How much space do I have?

The first thing to think about when choosing between hanging scales and platform scales is how much space you have available.

Heavy duty weighing scales, since they are designed to weigh large, heavy items, will usually take up a lot of space.
