You have to take a look at the Rice Lake SURVIVOR® CW-80 Over/Under Checkweigher. Popular applications include: Food processing, Industrial processing, Kit assembly operations, General filling operations, and general-purpose weighing.

The SURVIVOR CW-80 features a new generation Tough-Touch™ keypad, designed to withstand extreme abuse, including knife punctures!

The exclusive LifeGuard™ shock-absorbing base provides exceptional protection against overload and impact forces.

Listen to what CW 80 owners are saying — “Once we program the CW-80 and install it, we never touch it again. There’s nothing else like it on the market—big, bright display, tough construction that withstands constant exposure to saltwater, and there’s a variety of sizes.”

Talk about a popular hanging and crane scale!

Everyone always wants to know “what’s your best selling hanging scale” or “what’s everybody else buy”? Truth is, I don’t know if the HSDC is our best selling crane scale, but it is a very popular digital hanging scale that a lot of people do like and continue to ask for year after year.

Cardinal Detecto HSDC Series “Legal for Trade” Hanging Digital Scales are full-featured, battery-powered hanging scales that incorporates push button tare, a sleep mode, and an auto shutoff mode to prolong battery life. Its aluminum alloy construction makes it lightweight and easy to use, but tough enough to stand up under conditions required of any portable hanging scale. Whether an industrial application, a curbside, site collection operation for recycling, or a supermarket, the HSDC series hanging scale is the true example of accurate portable weighing.

People…that’s what makes us tick.

Normally, we write about scales or balances in these blog entries, but today I thought we’d mention why Central Carolina Scale continues to be a wonderful scale sales and service company located in central North Carolina.

We read a lot today about the importance of branding, positioning, sales, profit/loss and other business jargon, but we also know that having quality people (aka…employees) is the most important thing we can have. With quality personnel, the sky is the limit. Creativity, positive attitude, enthusiasm, and of course — hard work. These are but a few of the many qualities that having good people brings to our organization. After all, if employees don’t have a clear understanding of ‘who’ they are working for and ‘why’, it’s hard to expect enthusiasm for going beyond the expected, or thinking outside the box. This entry is dedicated to the continued success for all of us.

So you want to buy a “cheap” floor scale…

Boy, do we hear that all the time! Before you say that, please stop and think about what you’re going to be doing. If you’re going to be weighing light pallets every now and then—sure, you can probably purchase a low cost light weight, light duty floor scale. HOWEVER, if you’re going to be using your floor scale almost every day, setting THOUSANDS of pounds on the scale — you had better be looking at one of our heavy duty GSE Gator platform scales. Otherwise, you’re going to be paying lots of $$$ for costly repairs or new scales pretty often!

GSE Gator Deck Electronic Platform Floor Scales feature TLO design (tangential loadcell orientation) which increases accuracy, heavy duty 1/4″ Diamond Tread Deck Plate, formed steel channels which increase structural integrity, heavy duty 5/8″ load cell plates which assure direct force transfer, NEMA 6P Load Cells and NEMA 4X Junction Box assures great performance in hostile environments, top access to junction box adds convenience and strength vs. slide access junction boxes. The Gator is available in various sizes and capacities and available with several different digital readouts.

We’ve “pinned” down a great scale for wrestling!

For years, WRESTLING TEAM SCALES have been flimsy, abuse-prone, low end health scales which are hard to service, tedious to use, and almost impossible to get sealed by Weights & Measures officials.

Usually during the late Fall, many High School and College booster clubs and Athletic Departments begin looking for replacements. Many Community Centers and Health Clubs have exactly the same problem. When priced against low end health scales, Pennsylvania’s NTEP Approved 6400 Series Wrestling Scales are a great value!

The M6400 Series of Platforms is ideal for this application– priced right, very heavy duty, NTEP to 5000 graduations (most common is 500 x 0.1 lbs), heavy duty enough to take abuse, and highly accurate for fairness and equity in sports or personal fitness.

Well not literally…. Detecto veterinary scales make weighing four-legged patients easy. The Detecto VET-400 is the perfect scale for veterinarians, kennels, labs or anyone handling medium to large size animals.

The removable stainless steel platform makes cleanup fast and easy. Its scale base can be positioned up to 8′ / 2.5m away from the display due to the coiled cable. The indicator features an adjustable mounting bracket for either desk or wall mount convenience. The scale and display are battery powered and have a power-saving automatic sleep mode. Automatic zero tracking maintains the scale at zero while the hold feature retains the displayed weight after the animal is removed.
