Adam Equipment Crane Scales – IHS, SHS & LHS Industrial Hanging Scales
The Adam Equipment crane scale range delivers precise, reliable suspended load weighing for demanding industrial environments. Covering three robust models — the IHS, SHS, and LHS — the range spans a broad spectrum of capacities, making it suitable for warehouses, shipping and logistics operations, manufacturing facilities, and construction sites where accurate overhead weighing is essential.
Adam Equipment crane scales are built to perform in real industrial conditions. High-visibility LED displays provide clear weight readouts in any lighting environment, while wireless remote control operation allows operators to take readings safely from a distance without standing directly beneath the suspended load. Rotating hooks with safety locks ensure secure load attachment, and industrial-grade construction — polycarbonate and cast aluminium magnesium housings, chrome-plated steel hooks, and oversized swivel shackles — ensures long-term durability under daily heavy use. Rechargeable battery operation with AC adapter compatibility provides flexible power options for both fixed and portable applications.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the IHS, SHS, and LHS models?
The three models differ primarily in capacity and physical size. The IHS is the most compact and portable, suited to lighter industrial and logistics applications. The SHS covers mid-range capacities for general warehouse and freight use. The LHS is the highest-capacity model, designed for heavy industrial loads, large freight, and machinery weighing. Check individual product listings for specific capacity and readability specifications.
How does the wireless remote control work?
Adam Equipment crane scales include a handheld wireless remote that allows operators to control the scale functions — including zero, hold, and unit switching — from a safe distance without standing directly beneath the suspended load. This is a key safety feature for overhead weighing operations where proximity to the load should be minimised.
Can Adam Equipment crane scales be used outdoors?
Yes. The industrial-grade construction with polycarbonate and cast aluminium magnesium housings provides good resistance to dust and general environmental exposure. For prolonged outdoor use in wet conditions, check the IP rating of the specific model and consider a protective cover when not in use. Contact us for guidance on suitability for your specific outdoor environment.
Are Adam Equipment crane scales trade approved?
Please check individual product listings or contact our team to confirm trade approval status for specific models. For legal-for-trade applications such as freight billing or commercial transactions by weight, OIML Class III approval is required.
Can I get a UKAS calibration certificate with my Adam Equipment crane scale?
Yes. UKAS-traceable calibration certificates are available on request for all models in the Adam Equipment crane scale range. Contact our team when ordering to arrange calibration documentation.
