Industrial Warehouse Scales

Types of Industrial Warehouse Scales We Supply

(Use a 2-column card layout or simple heading/paragraph sections in Elementor)

Platform Scales

Our industrial platform scales are the standard choice for weighing pallets, crates, drums, and bulk loads in warehouses and factories. Built from heavy-gauge steel with a non-slip checkered plate surface, they’re available in capacities from 100kg up to 5 Ton and platform sizes from 1m×1m to 1.5m×1.5m. The wide, flat surface makes loading with a forklift or pallet jack straightforward, and bright LED indicators give clear readings in any lighting conditions.

Best for: Receiving and dispatch bays, manufacturing, logistics hubs, bulk material handling

Floor Scales

Floor scales sit at or near ground level, making them ideal for weighing heavy or awkward loads that are rolled, slid, or wheeled on rather than lifted. Their low-profile design removes the need to lift loads onto a raised surface, reducing handling time and injury risk. Available in capacities up to 3,000kg with robust steel platforms suited to high-traffic industrial environments.

Best for: Factories, recycling operations, steel yards, food processing, high-volume distribution

Bench Scales

Compact and workstation-ready, our industrial bench scales handle the detail work — parts counting, portion control, quality checks, and small-batch weighing. Available in capacities from 3kg to 150kg, they integrate cleanly into production lines and packing stations without taking up unnecessary space. Many models include built-in counting and checkweighing functions to reduce manual errors on repetitive tasks.

Best for: Engineering workshops, packing stations, manufacturing lines, laboratory environments

Crane Scales & Hanging Scales

When loads are suspended from a hoist, crane, or forklift rather than resting on a surface, crane and hanging scales are the right tool. Our range runs from 300kg to 5,000kg, with reinforced die-cast housings and large LED displays readable from a distance. Remote control operation keeps operators at a safe distance from heavy suspended loads during the weighing process.

Best for: Steel yards, construction, scrap metal, mining support, shipping and logistics

Counting Scales

Speed up inventory management and eliminate picking errors with industrial counting scales. By sampling a reference quantity, they calculate and display the total piece count on the platform — ideal for fasteners, components, packaging, and hardware. High-resolution load cells maintain accuracy even with very light individual piece weights.

Best for: Engineering, electronics assembly, hardware distribution, warehousing and stockrooms

Frequently Asked Questions About Industrial Warehouse Scales

(Use an accordion/toggle block in Elementor or Gutenberg — FAQ schema improves PAA visibility)

What types of warehouse scales do you supply?

We supply platform scales, floor scales, bench scales, crane and hanging scales, and counting scales — covering everything from light bench-top applications to heavy 5-ton platform weighing. Browse our full range above or contact us if you need help selecting the right type.

What capacity scale do I need for my warehouse?

Always choose a scale rated at least 20% above your heaviest expected load to protect accuracy and extend the scale’s lifespan. For most general warehouse use, capacities between 300kg and 2,000kg cover the majority of applications. For heavy pallet or container weighing, a 3,000kg–5,000kg platform scale is the right choice. Not sure? Contact us and we’ll help you spec the right unit.

Do warehouse scales come with a warranty?

Yes. Every scale we supply comes with a 6-month warranty as standard — covering manufacturing defects from the date of delivery.

Do you offer calibration services?

Yes. We offer calibration and repair services to keep your scales accurate over time. Scales in high-traffic or demanding environments should be calibrated periodically. Contact us to arrange a service.

Do you deliver scales outside of Johannesburg?

Yes — we deliver nationwide to all nine provinces including Cape Town, Durban, Pretoria, Port Elizabeth (Gqeberha), and surrounding areas. Delivery typically takes 2–3 business days in Gauteng and 5–7 business days for more remote locations.

What is a digital warehouse scale?

A digital warehouse scale is a weighing scale that uses electronic load cell technology and a digital display to measure and show weight readings, as opposed to older mechanical scales that use springs, levers, and dial indicators. Digital warehouse scales are more accurate, easier to read, less prone to wear, and typically include features like auto-tare, overload protection, data output, and battery operation — making them the standard choice for warehouses, factories, and logistics operations across South Africa.

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

Platform scales have a raised platform surface and are designed to have loads placed on top — ideal for pallets and large items. Floor scales sit at or near ground level so loads can be wheeled or slid on without lifting. The best choice depends on how you load the scale in your specific working environment. View our platform scales or floor scales to compare.

Can I order in bulk at a discount?

Yes — bulk and multi-unit orders are welcome. As a wholesale supplier, we structure pricing to benefit businesses ordering multiple units. Request a free quote and we’ll come back to you with competitive bulk pricing.
