Hanson 100kg Analog Hanging Scale Plastic

A 100kg Heavy-Duty Portable Hook-Type Weighing Scale (often referred to as a hanging scale, crane scale, or round spring balance) is an incredibly versatile tool built for heavy-lifting environments where floor space is limited or items are awkward to place on a flat platform.

⚙️ Key Technical Features

• Weight Capacity: Up to 100 kg (220 lbs).

• Dual Display Units: Most models feature dual units, allowing you to easily switch or read measurements in both kilograms (kg) and pounds (lbs), and sometimes ounces (oz).

• Mechanism Type: Available in two main formats:

  • Analog/Mechanical (Spring Balance): Classic round dial with a physical needle (like the traditional Hanson scales). These do not require batteries and are highly durable in rugged, wet, or dusty environments.

  • Digital/Electronic: Feature an LCD back-lit screen, “Tare” functions (to zero out the weight of a basket or container), and an automatic data-lock function that holds the reading once the weight stabilizes.

• Heavy-Duty Build: Designed with a hardened metal top loop or handle for suspension, and a reinforced bottom steel hook to securely hold heavy loads.

💼 Common Applications

Because of its portable, suspension-style design, this scale is widely used across several industries:

• Agriculture & Farming: Ideal for weighing sacks of produce (maize, beans, potatoes), animal feed, or livestock.

• Butcheries & Meat Processing: Perfect for hanging and weighing large meat carcasses or bulk portions.

• Logistics & Travel: Used as a heavy-duty luggage or cargo scale for shipping facilities and warehouses.

• Commercial & Fishing: Excellent for weighing large catches or bulk wholesale goods at open markets.

💡 Tips for Safe & Accurate Use

1. Ensure a Secure Anchor: Always make sure the top ring or handle is suspended from a structurally sound beam, crane, or rigid stand before hooking a 100kg load.

2. Clear the Area: Ensure the item hangs completely free without touching the ground or nearby walls, as friction will result in inaccurate readings.

3. Stay Safe: Never stand directly underneath the load while it is suspended.
