A floor scale is a weighing device designed to measure large, heavy items directly on its platform. Unlike scales that hang in the air or require the operator to balance items, floor scales provide a stable, grounded surface. They are typically constructed with robust materials like steel to withstand heavy loads and are often used in warehouses, shipping docks, and manufacturing facilities.
Industrial Floor Scales: Ideal for factories, handling large quantities of raw materials or finished goods. Pallet Scales: Specifically designed to weigh pallets, often featured with ramps for easy accessibility. Livestock Scales: Used for weighing animals, featuring specialized designs to accommodate movement and weight distribution.
