Below Surface Floor Scales

Floor scales are usually used in manufacturing industries that measure the weight of various things in both lbs and kgs. These scales are typically operated on the floor level. Floor scales are often called in-ground scales or pit scales. Reasons to consider floor scales are:

• They can be fitted with cages and supports to assist with weighing manufactured parts, different containers, and even animals from time to time
• Typically they are large in size, however, they can be stacked to save room and placed in storage when not in use
• They are reliable, accurate, and capable of withstanding complex warehouse situations
• They offer larger platforms and higher capacity compared to other weighing systems

The main industrial settings that you will find in-ground scales or pit scales are warehouses, agriculture, and health care

Choosing the Right Floor Scale for Your Application

When purchasing in-ground scales or pit scales, there are several things you should consider: 

• You will want to find out if the scale is repairable if something happens. Are there replacement parts for your in-ground scales or pit scales?
• Everyone wants a quality scale that will offer years of use, so make sure you find a scale that will remain accurate over its lifespan.  
• Look for an in-ground scale or pit scale that offers features and functions that you need for your particular application. For example, if you plan to use the scale for weighing animals, you will want a ramp to make it easier to load the animals. You might want to consider some bars or a cage as well.
• Considerations will need to be made to ensure that the scale will have enough room to operate correctly and is free of obstructions.
• Scales are designed to handle specific weight ranges, so you will need to ensure the scale you are considering can handle the weight it will be under.

Reasons for Needing a Below Surface Scale

There are many reasons you may need a below surface scale. They are used in various manufacturing processes, particularly in the food and chemical industries. This is how we can weigh large objects safely and determine weights for various reasons.

We offer a variety of below surface scales. The GLP Gas Lift Platform, for example, is designed to be cleaned down often which is important in the food and medical industries as it improves health and safety. When looking for scales that improve the health and safety of your operation, you need to determine if the scales can be adequately cleaned as they will need to be cleaned often, and will have to endure these cleanings with ease.
