Baxtran Crane Scales by Giropes – Heavy-Duty Overhead Weighing from 500 kg to 50,000 kg
Baxtran crane scales, manufactured by Giropes, are professional suspended weighing instruments engineered for accurate, reliable overhead load measurement in demanding industrial environments. With capacities from 500 kg to 50,000 kg, they cover the full spectrum of heavy-duty crane weighing requirements — from warehouse and logistics operations through to construction sites, scrap and recycling yards, marine and port facilities, and heavy manufacturing environments where accurate overhead weighing is essential for safety, compliance, and operational efficiency.
Giropes brings over 50 years of Spanish weighing engineering expertise to the Baxtran crane scale range, combining robust alloy steel and aluminium construction with advanced electronics and wireless connectivity. Wireless remote displays with LCD and LED options allow operators to read weight data safely from a distance without standing directly beneath the suspended load — a critical safety feature for overhead weighing operations. IP65 and IP67 protection ratings ensure reliable performance in harsh outdoor and industrial environments, and rechargeable battery operation provides the portability needed for multi-site and field use. OIML-approved and trade-approved models are available for legal-for-trade applications including freight billing and commercial transactions by weight.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Safe Working Load (SWL) of Baxtran crane scales?
The Safe Working Load varies by model and is clearly specified in each product listing. Always select a crane scale with an SWL that meets or exceeds your maximum expected load, including any dynamic forces from lifting. Never exceed the rated SWL — all models include overload protection to alert operators when the load approaches or exceeds the rated capacity.
Are Baxtran crane scales trade approved for freight billing?
Yes. OIML-approved and trade-approved models are available in the Baxtran crane scale range, suitable for legal-for-trade applications including freight billing and commercial transactions by weight. Please check individual product listings or contact our team to confirm the approval class and certification for specific models.
How does the wireless remote display work?
Baxtran crane scales include a handheld wireless remote display that receives weight data from the scale via radio frequency, allowing operators to read the weight from a safe distance without standing beneath the suspended load. The remote typically also allows control of scale functions such as zero, hold, and unit switching. Wireless range varies by model — check individual product specifications.
Can Baxtran crane scales be used outdoors?
Yes. IP65 and IP67-rated models are designed for outdoor use, providing full protection against dust and water jets or temporary immersion. Robust alloy steel construction ensures durability in exposed environments. For marine and coastal applications, confirm the specific corrosion protection specification with our team before purchasing.
Is UKAS calibration available for Baxtran crane scales?
Yes. UKAS-traceable calibration certificates are available on request for all Baxtran crane scales. For trade-approved models used in legal-for-trade applications, periodic recalibration by a qualified engineer is required to maintain approval. Contact our team for calibration and service support.
