Platform Scales
Our range of Platform Scales include portable floor scales for general warehouse use, floor scales with a parts counting feature and larger floor scales for weighing pallets and stillages. We also supply weigh beams and U frame floor scales which are more portable than conventional platform floor scales.
Platform scales are available in our stainless platform scales range for hygienic environments, and are frequently used alongside our bench scales and pallet truck scales ranges. Platform scales are also available for equipment hire.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Platform Scale
Platform scales come in many formats, so the best choice depends on what you are weighing and how it moves through your site. General warehouse use is usually well served by a portable floor scale, while pallets and stillages need a larger, higher-capacity platform. If you regularly count small parts as well as weighing bulk goods, a platform with a built-in counting feature can save buying two separate machines. Weigh beams and U-frame scales are worth considering where a low-profile, easily movable option is needed rather than a fixed floor scale. For washdown areas, choose a stainless platform scale instead of a standard mild steel model, and confirm whether hire is a better fit than purchase for short-term projects.
