Platform Scales

Platform scales provide accurate weighing of components or products in factories, warehouses, depots, manufacturing plants and industrial workplaces. Often, they are placed low to the ground or recessed into the floor. This means they provide easy access and high levels of efficiency. Flat electronic platform scales, for example, allow large items or pallets to be weighed by forklift or pallet truck without costly delays. Smaller platform scales are ideal for fast-moving production lines. platform Industrial scales come in a variety of shapes and sizes, with or without ramps, and can also be washdown and pneumatically supported for easy cleaning and maintenance in challenging conditions. All this means platform scales are frequently used to support transport, logistics, quality control, and health and safety functions. We have a broad range of platform scales in stock and offer expert advice if you’re not sure which model suits your requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions

An industrial platform scale is a heavy-duty weighing system designed to measure large or bulky items. It typically consists of a low-profile weighing platform and a separate weight indicator.

Platform scales are often seen in warehouses, factories, loading bays, agricultural settings, and processing areas. They are ideal wherever pallets, crates, drums, or bulky goods need to be weighed accurately as part of routine operations.

The terms are often used interchangeably, but platform scales usually refer to a raised or standalone platform, while floor scales can sit flush with the floor or within a pit.

Some platform scales are available in Trade-Approved models suitable for selling goods by weight. If you’re not sure if you need a Trade-Approved scale, ask our team.

Industrial platform scales use load cells positioned beneath the platform to measure applied weight. The signal is processed by an indicator, which displays or records the weight.
