The Cardinal Detecto D30 is a rugged, NTEP-certified price computing scale built for busy retail environments like delis, farmers markets, bakeries, and produce stands. With a 30 lb capacity and 0.01 lb readability, it calculates weight, unit price, and total cost simultaneously on dual backlit LCD screens—one for the operator and one for the customer.

Portable and dependable, the D30 runs on both AC power and an internal rechargeable battery (with approximately 60 hours of battery life), making it ideal for both in-store and outdoor use. It features a removable stainless-steel platform, sealed keypad, and RS‑232 connectivity for printers—perfect for printing labels or receipts. With up to 99 PLUs—including 14 direct-access keys—it speeds up repetitive pricing, and its Tare, Pre‑Pack, Zero, and auto‑shutoff functions boost efficiency even further.

Compact yet durable, the D30 combines commercial-grade stainless-steel construction with a molded polymer housing, while adjustable non-skid feet and a built-in leveling bubble ensure consistent accuracy on any surface.

If you're looking for a reliable, legal-for-trade retail scale that delivers accurate and professional price computing in any setting—whether it’s a farmers market scale or deli checkout—the Cardinal Detecto D30 is a top-tier, feature-rich solution.
