Digital crane scale and hanging scale: capacity, safety and legal use

A digital crane scale weighs suspended loads. Choose it on the real maximum load, leaving a margin, and always use it within the limits of the lifting equipment.

Models

Selection criteria

• Capacity above the maximum load.
• Division suited to the required reading.
• Display readable from a distance.
• Hook compatible with cranes and slings.

Safety

The instrument does not replace lifting inspections. Lift the load vertically, without jerks and with nobody underneath. Before use, follow the manual and your company procedures.

Mistakes to avoid

• Pulling at an angle.
• Leaving loads suspended for a long time.
• Using it for sales by weight: these models cannot be verified for legal use.

Example: checking a load before shipping

Lifting the item with the crane scale confirms its weight before choosing transport and equipment, avoiding internal disputes.

Frequently asked questions

Hook or platform?

The hook is for loads that are already suspended. For pallets on the floor, choose a platform.

Do I need calibration?

If the data goes into a quality system, yes: send us model and capacity.
