Crane Scales are heavy-duty industrial scales that can be used for weighing large or awkwardly shaped goods where you may not have the floor space to put a large platform scale or unable to balance the shape of the goods. You may also hear them be called suspended scales or overhead scales.
Check weighers are used by many industries (such as food production) to compare the weight of their products with predetermined limits set by the user within the scale. Some basic checkweighers may have a traffic light system, or Hi/Lo/OK indicators, whereas more advanced models could have configurable colour touch screen displays where the user can clearly see the target weight.
