Crane Scales – Heavy-Duty Overhead & Hanging Scales for Industrial Use
Our crane scales are professional suspended weighing instruments built for accurate overhead load measurement in the most demanding industrial, construction, logistics, and marine environments. Designed to hang directly from a crane hook, hoist, or gantry, they allow operators to weigh heavy loads during lifting — eliminating the need for separate floor scales and reducing handling time significantly.
With capacities ranging from 100 kg to 50,000 kg and IP65/IP67-rated enclosures, our crane scales are engineered to perform reliably in harsh outdoor and industrial conditions. Wireless remote displays allow operators to read weight data safely from a distance, while rechargeable battery operation ensures portability across sites without fixed power infrastructure. OIML-approved and trade-certified models are available for legal-for-trade applications including scrap metal, port operations, and agricultural produce.

Frequently Asked Questions
What capacities are available for crane scales?
Our crane scales are available from 100 kg up to 50,000 kg, covering light industrial hanging scales through to heavy-duty crane weighing systems for port and offshore operations. If you need a specific capacity not listed, contact our team for availability.
Are crane scales safe to use during lifting operations?
Yes, when used within their rated capacity and in accordance with the manufacturer’s guidelines. All models include overload protection to prevent damage from accidental overloading. For lifting applications, always ensure the crane scale’s Safe Working Load (SWL) meets or exceeds the maximum load being lifted.
Can crane scales be used outdoors?
Yes. Our IP65 and IP67-rated models are designed for outdoor and harsh industrial environments, offering protection against dust ingress and water jets or immersion. Wireless remote displays allow operators to read weight data from a safe distance, making them well suited to outdoor construction and port environments.
Are crane scales approved for legal-for-trade use?
Several models in our range carry OIML Class III trade approval, making them suitable for commercial transactions including scrap metal trading, agricultural produce, and port cargo weighing. Please check individual product listings or contact us to confirm approval status for your application.
Do crane scales come with calibration certificates?
Yes. Traceable calibration certificates are available on request for all models. We also offer on-site calibration and periodic service support to keep your crane scales operating within specification — contact our team for details.
