Fairness in justice is represented by a lady who is blind folded and holds a weighing scale in her hand. The beam of the scale is horizontal and is not tilted on any side which symbolizes that the justice is even handed without favoring anyone. This image has endured though the weighing scales have undergone many changes. Weighing scales are in use at different places like houses, factories, shops, laboratories etc. to weigh different types of objects. Naturally you cannot have the same type of scale at all these places, so there are various types of scales. In the scale described above the pull that the earth exerts on matter is used to weigh the object. There are spring scales in which changes in the shape and length of a spring when pulled by a weight are used to measure weight. Changes in the electrical properties of matter under stress are also exploited to measure weight. In all the types of scales the object to be weighed is taken to the pan or the platform of the scale. If the object is very heavy it may be difficult to carry it to the level of the platform and it may not be safe as well. Floor scales are used to solve ...
... this problem.

In the floor scales the platform of the scale is at the level of the floor or just a little above it. It is not always possible to have it at the floor level as there has to be a weighing mechanism below the platform. Howsoever thin the mechanism is made, at some locations it cannot be kept below the floor level. However, raising the object just to a very little height does not pose any problem. Since the objects have not to be raised and it takes a very short time to move them to a floor scale it increases the efficiency of operations and at the same time it is safer. On digital floor scales you can directly read the weight on a display.

Floor scales are of great help in factories, and warehouses, and transport terminals. You can look for them in various stores or also on the internet. You can know more about floor scales at www.paylessscales.com.
