Crane Scales and Hanging Weighing Scales

Industrial crane scales are the ideal tool for combining lifting and weighing operations. They are a common sight in manufacturing, industrial, and commercial workplaces, where they offer a straightforward, easy-to-use alternative to more traditional floor or platform scales. As the name suggests, crane or hanging weighing scales can be slung between a crane’s hook and the item you need to weigh. This approach has been proven to simplify load verification and basic safety controls without the need for additional equipment or a complex setup. Our crane scales span a wide range of sizes and capabilities, but they are all designed to meet the highest of standards. Choosing the correct set of crane scales is an essential step to safe, efficient and straightforward lifting and materials handling. Whatever the task, you can be sure you’ll get accurate, repeatable results.

Frequently Asked Questions

A hanging or crane scale is a device slung between a hook and the item you want to weigh. From this point, it can measure loads suspended from a crane, hoist, or lifting point. It allows operators to safely weigh items during lifting, eliminating the need for an additional platform.

Industrial crane scales are available in a wide range of mechanical and electronic formats, including compact models for lighter loads and heavy-duty scales for high-capacity lifting. Wireless and hazardous-area versions are also available for specialist applications.

There is no real difference, and the descriptions are often interchangeable. Both refer to scales for suspended loads. Crane scales are often associated with heavier industrial lifting, while hanging scales may also cover lighter-duty use cases.

Crane scales are beneficial anywhere loads are already being lifted. This includes warehouses, manufacturing plants, metal processing and recycling facilities, ports and transport hubs, construction sites, and more.

Costs vary depending on capacity, accuracy, construction, and features. If you’re not sure what you need, why not request a quote from our sales team?
