Overload protection

Posted on by

As is the case quite often — a lot of the topics we discuss here originate from our customers.  Just recently I received a question about overload protection on our floor scales.  Apparently a lot of the “internet specials” that are flooding the web lately like to advertise they have “200% overload” protection, plus somehow with all the “toughness” they have built into their scales, they can sell their scales at super low prices and offer free freight on these “heavy duty” monsters.  Wow, we need these internet guys to run for office — there is nothing they can’t do or say! (or write for that matter)

Here at CCS, we stick to whatever the manufacturer specs are because most, if not all, of our floor scales don’t have those 200% specifications. GSE specs do currently list overload protection for their floor scales at 200%. However, most of our floor scales have somewhere around 60% to 100%, which should be plenty.  This number really depends greatly on the manufacturer, the product structure, and the component quality in the scale.

Price versus quality

I had to write this entry based on the last couple of weeks.  We here at CCS always try to stay on top of the newest trends…especially when it comes to scales.  So I had a new lower priced import scale shipped in here so we could evaluate it.

Every distributor in all kinds of industries attempt to come up with lower priced Continue reading →

Quality versus Price

Sometimes ideas about what to write on this blog just fall right into my lap. I just got off the phone with a potential customer who was asking for a price on a scale system. Once I told him the price, he immediately questioned me and wondered why my item was so much more expensive than a “similar” item he had just seen on another website. I Continue reading →

It’s that time of the year again — Football season!  Anticipation is extremely high for players, fans, etc… as everyone looks forward to having a successful 2006-2007 season. One of the tools that athletic departments need from junior high, to high school, college, and professional football is a nice weighing scale.

Coaches and athletic trainers are always trying to keep an eye on players health and weight.  Having a reliable scale is a must. Also, think about when you read about your favorite team in a preseason publication or in a game program, you usually see the player’s weights listed. Scales are an important part of sports. We offer several different types of weigh scales, perfect for athletics. A lot of folks choose the old and trusty physician mechanical scale.  Others like the idea of a portable system that they can carry or easily move from location to location.  We’ve also seen departments buy scales with handrails to ease the entry/exit of the weigh platform.  Finally, the standard digital scale system.

These aren’t the only scales we offer — but they are good scales that have proven to be reliable choices in the past. Be sure to get your team going the right “weigh” today!
