Hanging Scales and Crane Scales
Precision that meets your highest standards (or "Precision tailored to your demands
Whether you need to weigh game, construction materials, or heavy warehouse loads, the hanging scale (also known as a spring scale or suspended scale) is the essential tool for fast, mobile weighing. At Balance Papp, we offer a wide selection of equipment ranging from small, portable digital hanging scales to high-capacity industrial crane scales.
Why choose our suspended weighing solutions?
Total versatility: Our products cater to everyone—from the vendor looking for a lightweight scale for their market stall to the plant manager needing a heavy-duty crane scale for their production line.
Easy and safe reading: Equipped with clear digital displays (LED or LCD) and often supplied with a remote control, our scales allow for remote weight reading to ensure operator safety.
Certified durability: Built to withstand harsh environments, our scales offer exceptional durability, even under heavy-duty use.
Where to use our hanging scales?
Flexibility is the major advantage of the hanging scale. Unlike floor platforms that take up valuable space, suspended models integrate directly into your existing lifting equipment. Here are a few common applications for our products:
Industrial and Manufacturing Sector: Ideal for foundries, metallurgy, and shipping. Our crane scales allow you to weigh heavy loads directly while they are being moved by an overhead crane, saving both time and handling.
Agriculture and Food Processing: Whether weighing feed bags, harvests, or for use in a butcher shop, our hanging scales offer impeccable hygiene and easy cleaning.
Hunting and Fishing: Outdoor enthusiasts and outfitters trust our portable scales to accurately weigh game in the field.
Logistics and Transportation: Verify the weight of pallets or containers before shipping to avoid overloading and comply with transport regulations.
FAQ
Most frequent questions and answers
Although the terms are often used interchangeably, a hanging scale (or spring scale) generally refers to a smaller-capacity suspended scale (mechanical or digital). A crane scale is designed for heavy industry with reinforced safety hooks. A dynamometer, on the other hand, is often used to measure pulling force (tension) rather than static mass, although some models can do both.
The majority of our industrial models and electronic crane scales come with a wireless remote control. This allows the operator to tare (zero) the scale or record the weight from a safe distance, without having to touch the suspended load.
Yes, but take note: only a scale approved by Measurement Canada can be used for a commercial transaction based on weight. If you need a scale for retail sales (fruits, vegetables, meat), make sure to select a model certified « Legal for Trade » on our Poidsnet.ca store or contact us to confirm.
Safety is essential. Our scales are equipped with industrial lifting hooks and shackles. Always ensure that the overhead anchor point—whether on the ceiling, crane, or hoist—has a load capacity greater than that of the scale and the load combined.
