How to Choose the Right Bench Scale
Selecting the right bench scale depends on how the scale will be used and the environment it will operate in. The following factors will help you choose the best bench weighing scale for your application.
1. Capacity Requirements
Bench scales are available in a wide range of capacities, from light-duty models to 500 lb. bench scales. Always choose a scale with a capacity higher than your maximum expected load to maintain accuracy and extend the life of the scale.
2. Platform Size
The platform should fully support the items being weighed. Larger products may require a wider platform, while smaller items can be accurately weighed on a compact bench scale designed for limited workspace.
3. Industrial Environment
For warehouses, production floors, or shipping areas, an industrial bench scale with a durable steel or stainless steel platform is recommended. Washdown or food-related applications may require corrosion-resistant materials.
4. Display and Readability
A digital bench scale with a clear, easy-to-read display improves efficiency and reduces operator error. Consider display size, backlighting, and indicator placement based on your workspace.
5. Power and Portability
Some digital bench scales offer AC power, rechargeable batteries, or both. Battery-powered models provide flexibility for mobile or temporary workstations.
