industrial landscape

Across facilities like warehouses, factories and construction sites, industrial weighing scales are crucial equipment. Though our industrial scales work well on their own, we offer weighing accessories to help increase performance and boost efficiency, as well as provide added protection and value. This blog will go over the top 5 accessories that we offer for industrial and commercial settings.

1.     Platform Ramps

Our PT Platform Scales are excellent for weighing pallets, drums, crates and other oversized and heavy objects with their capacities up to 4,500 kg. Due to their durable reinforced frames, they’re raised 109.2 millimetres above the ground. This isn’t an issue when items are loaded by hand or dropped off by a pallet stacker that’s able to lift beyond that distance.

However, if your preferred weighing method is wheeling your items onto the platform via a pallet truck, overcoming this height can be a nuisance. We offer mild steel ramps for all PT models. Connect up to four ramps, one on each side, for an instant improvement in how easy it is to load and unload using a pallet truck or other wheeled method.

2.     In-Use Covers

Warehouses and factories can get messy, which can be irritating if it begins to impede the functioning of your equipment. our industrial scales, including the Highland HCB, our Cruiser series, GBK & GFK, Latitude Compact Bench Scale and many of our discontinued products.

3.     Calibration Weights

Even industrial scales require regular calibration. We recommend calibrating bench scales every few months and anything larger at least once a year. The more often calibration is performed, the more confident you can be that your results are always 100% accurate.

OIML & ASTM Calibration Weights

We offer both ASTM (US exclusive) and OIML (international) test weights. Most industrial scales will use Class 4 ASTM weights or M1 class OIML weights. These classes are built to accommodate high-capacity scales that don’t need to be as ultra-precise as an analytical or precision balance.

Whether you’re looking for a few individual weights or a full set, we have what you need. To learn more about calibration weights, check out our blog on the topic here.  

4.     Hard Carrying Cases

Hard carrying cases make it much easier to transport your industrial bench scale to other necessary locations. They also protect your device scale from harm while they’re not in use, helping defend your investment against all the hustle and bustle of industrial work.

5.     Printers

It’s important to keep weighing records handy. That way should any issue or inconsistency pop up, you would notice significantly faster. While handwritten or typed manuals are great, there’s always a risk of human error. What would normally have been a minor typo or bad handwriting has suddenly turned into a big problem for your company. Instead, try out our ATP 2 Thermal Printer, able to connect to most Adam scales and balances via an RS-232 interface. With the tap of a button, the ATP 2 prints clearly legible and accurate weighing results that you can keep for your records.
