Frequently Asked Questions About Floor Scales

What is a floor scale?

A floor scale is a heavy-duty weighing scale designed to sit directly on the floor, allowing goods, pallets, drums, crates, and bulk loads to be placed on its platform for accurate weight measurement. Unlike bench scales, these units are built for larger and heavier loads and are commonly used in warehouses, factories, logistics facilities, and industrial environments across South Africa.

What capacity floor scale do I need?

The capacity you need depends on the maximum weight you will be measuring. As a general rule, choose a unit with a capacity at least 20% higher than your heaviest expected load to protect the scale and ensure accuracy. We stock weighing platforms from 100kg up to 5,000kg (5 ton). If you are unsure which capacity is right for your operation, contact our team for a free recommendation.

What is the difference between a floor scale and a platform scale?

The two terms are often used interchangeably to describe the same type of product — a flat, floor-level weighing platform suitable for heavy loads. They refer to the same category of industrial weighing equipment. At Industrial Scales South Africa, our floor scales and platform scales are the same product range, available in capacities from 100kg to 5,000kg.

Do your floor scales come with a warranty?

Yes, our products come with a manufacturer warranty. Contact our team for specific warranty details on the model you are interested in. We also offer after-sales support to ensure your equipment continues to perform accurately over time.

Do you deliver floor scales across South Africa?

Yes. We deliver to customers across all nine provinces of South Africa, including Johannesburg, Cape Town, Durban, Pretoria, Port Elizabeth, Bloemfontein, East London, Nelspruit, and surrounding areas. Contact us for delivery costs and lead times to your specific location.

Are your floor scales NRCS trade approved?

Some of our weighing platforms are suitable for trade-approved applications. If you require NRCS (National Regulator for Compulsory Specifications) approval for legal-for-trade use — such as buying and selling goods by weight — please contact our team and we will advise you on the correct model for your requirements.
