Hanging Crane Scale
This hanging scale includes a shackle, hook, and mounted LED or LCD display all in one easy to use unit. The crane scale is ideal for smaller tension loads where the operator will be close to the hanging scale to view tension measurement. The crane load cell is a precision S-Type which is an accurate reliable weighing solution for a number of tension applications. A small remote control is included with the scale which allows you to call a number of features from a distance. The digital hanging scale is calibrated with fully traceable certified weights and arrives ready for immediate use.

Frequently Asked Questions About Hanging Crane Scales
How Does a Hanging Weighing Scale Work?
A hanging weighing scale, often referred to as a crane scale, operates on a pretty straightforward principle. It uses either a mechanical or electronic system to measure the weight of an object. Mechanical versions typically use a spring mechanism that stretches in response to the weight, while electronic scales use load cells that convert the force of the weight into an electrical signal. This signal is then processed to display the weight on a digital screen. By securely attaching the scale to a crane or hoist, and then attaching the item to be weighed, the scale can accurately measure the weight as it hangs suspended.
How Accurate are Hanging Scales?
The accuracy of hanging scales can vary depending on the model and the technology used. High-quality hanging scales are incredibly accurate, often with a margin of error as small as 0.1% of the total weight being measured. However, factors like the scale’s capacity, environmental conditions, and how well the scale is calibrated can affect accuracy. It’s always a good idea to check the specifications of your particular model and perform regular calibrations to ensure the most accurate readings.
How Do You Read a Hanging Scale?
Reading a hanging scale is generally straightforward. If you’re using a mechanical scale, the weight is indicated by a pointer moving along a numbered scale. You simply read where the pointer stops. For digital scales, the weight is displayed on an LCD or LED screen. After attaching the item to be weighed, ensure that it’s not touching any surrounding objects and is hanging freely. Then, simply read the weight displayed on the screen. Some digital scales also come with additional features like hold functions, which can keep the weight displayed even after the item is removed.
What is a Hanging Weighing Scale Used for?
Hanging weighing scales are incredibly versatile and are used in a variety of settings. They’re commonly found in industrial environments for weighing heavy items that are difficult to place on traditional floor scales, such as large containers, raw materials, or manufactured goods. They’re also used in agriculture for weighing livestock or feed, in shipping and receiving areas for cargo, and even in sports for weighing large fish or game. Their ability to accurately weigh large or bulky items makes them indispensable in many fields.
