Bench Scales – Precision Weighing for Industrial, Laboratory & Commercial Use
Our bench scales are precision weighing instruments built for demanding industrial, laboratory, and commercial environments. Designed to sit on a workbench or countertop, they deliver fast, accurate readings for small to medium-sized loads — making them an essential tool across manufacturing, food processing, packaging, and quality control operations.
Unlike floor scales or platform scales, bench scales offer a compact footprint without compromising on accuracy or functionality. High-resolution load cells deliver repeatable results across a wide range of capacities, while multiple weighing modes — including parts counting, checkweighing, and percentage weighing — make them adaptable to a broad range of tasks. Whether you’re verifying incoming goods, batching ingredients, or counting components, a bench scale brings measurable efficiency to your workflow.

Frequently Asked Questions
What capacities are available for bench scales?
Our bench scales are available in a wide range of capacities, typically from 600 g up to 35 kg, with readability from 0.01 g to 1 g depending on the model. If you need guidance on selecting the right capacity for your application, contact our team for advice.
Can bench scales be used for legal-for-trade applications?
Yes. Many models in our range are approved for use in trade (OIML Class III), making them suitable for retail, food portioning, and other applications where weights and measures compliance is required. Please check individual product listings or contact us to confirm approval status.
Are bench scales suitable for food environments?
Yes. We stock IP-rated and stainless steel bench scales designed for washdown environments, meeting hygiene requirements for food production, catering, and pharmaceutical applications. Look for IP65 or IP67-rated models for wet or wash-down areas.
Can bench scales connect to my existing systems?
Most models feature RS-232, USB, or Ethernet connectivity, enabling direct data transfer to warehouse management systems (WMS), ERP platforms, label printers, and data logging software. Connectivity specifications vary by model — contact us for compatibility advice.
Do bench scales come with calibration certificates?
Yes. UKAS-traceable calibration certificates are available on request for all models in our range. We also offer on-site calibration and periodic service support to keep your equipment operating within specification — contact our team for details.
