Giropes Platform Scales – Heavy-Duty Floor & Platform Weighing for Industrial Use
Giropes platform scales are robust, high-capacity floor weighing systems designed for accurate, reliable weighing of pallets, drums, IBCs, machinery, and heavy industrial loads in warehouse, logistics, manufacturing, and production environments. With a wide range of platform sizes and capacities, they provide a practical, durable weighing solution for operations where loads need to be driven, rolled, or placed directly onto the scale platform for fast, accurate weight measurement.
Giropes brings over 50 years of Spanish weighing engineering expertise to their platform scale range, combining heavy-duty steel platform construction with precision load cell technology and clear, easy-to-read indicators. Low-profile designs allow pallets and wheeled loads to be rolled on easily with minimal ramp assistance, while robust construction ensures long-term reliability under the demanding conditions of daily industrial use. Trade-approved models are available for legal-for-trade applications including goods-in verification, despatch weight compliance, and commercial transactions by weight. IP-rated indicators and stainless steel options are available for food, pharmaceutical, and washdown environments.

Frequently Asked Questions
What platform sizes and capacities are available?
Giropes platform scales are available in a range of standard platform sizes from approximately 400 x 400 mm up to 1500 x 1500 mm and larger, with capacities from 150 kg to 3,000 kg and above depending on the model. Contact our team with your load dimensions and maximum weight to identify the most suitable platform size and capacity for your application.
Are Giropes platform scales trade approved?
Yes. Trade-approved models are available in the Giropes platform scale range, carrying OIML Class III approval for legal-for-trade applications including goods-in verification, despatch weight compliance, and commercial transactions by weight. Please check individual product listings or contact our team to confirm trade approval status for specific models.
Do I need a ramp to load pallets onto a Giropes platform scale?
Most Giropes platform scales feature a low-profile design that minimises the step height, allowing pallets to be rolled on with a pallet truck using a short approach ramp. Ramps are available as optional accessories for most models. Contact our team to confirm ramp availability and dimensions for your specific platform scale.
Can Giropes platform scales be used in food or pharmaceutical environments?
Yes. Stainless steel platform and indicator options are available for food, pharmaceutical, and washdown environments. IP-rated indicators provide protection against water and dust ingress. Contact our team to confirm the specific construction and IP rating of the model you are considering for your environment.
Is UKAS calibration available for Giropes platform scales?
Yes. UKAS-traceable calibration certificates are available on request for all Giropes platform scales. For trade-approved models, periodic recalibration by a qualified engineer is required to maintain approval. Contact our team for calibration and service support.
