How to Choose a Floor Scale？

As a matter of fact, floor scales are used for veterinary weighing tasks, and can accommodate larger animals – from dogs and livestock, to lions and elephants. Some platform floor scales offer a dynamic weighing function, which is helpful when weighing moving animals. The weight is accurately calculated by averaging several readings recorded at short intervals over a span of time while the animal is on the scale.

When Choosing a Floor Scale:

1.One of the first things you should verify is that the floor scale you’re thinking of buying is large enough for your needs. If you are weighing oversized containers or crates, make sure they’ll fit on the pan.

2.Check to see that the scale has a high-enough capacity to handle the items you intend to weigh. If you plan to weigh multiple items simultaneously, make sure that the total weight doesn’t exceed the scale’s maximum.

3.It is essential that your scale can perform the appropriate applications for your needs. If you need to count a large number of items, ensure your scale can perform parts counting. Alternatively, if you are a vet or farmer who needs to weigh animals, you should select a floor scale with dynamic weighing capability.

4.Some floor scales require flat surfaces and large, spacious areas. It’s important to make sure the designated weighing area is free from obstructions, and that it’s and large enough to accommodate not only the scale, but also any containers, crates and cages.

5.To achieve the best weighing results, it may be worthwhile to invest in multiple weighing machines. Floor scales offer higher capacities and tend to measure in kilogram increments. You might find it beneficial and practical to combine a floor scale with a bench scale that weighs in smaller increments. For example, coffee beans distributors might operate on a smaller commercial level, as well as being part of a larger business supply chain. This means they’ll need the ability to weigh smaller bags for coffee shops, as well as big sacks of beans for distribution to large-scale users, such as coffee chain stores or warehouses.
