The noticeable difference between crane scales and other hanging scales is their specific capacity and cost. Hanging scales are used for lighter weighing tasks and tend to be less expensive. With its light weight design, the CAS IE1700 crane scale is designed to be portable and easy to use. Crane Scales, on the other hand, are more equipped to deal with heavier weighing tasks and are also, more costly. This is why they are often used on ships, planes, and trains to ensure bulky cargo is moved and cared for properly, as well as in foundries and warehouses. Knowing the weight of a load is crucial when transporting large amounts of freight as the weight of the goods has a direct impact on the safety of the people handling it.
Crane Scales are very useful to move around big and awkward loads which are often encountered at transport hubs, construction sites and warehouses. They also help free up workspace by lessening the amount of forklift traffic within the workplace. By taking on heavy loads, crane scales create more free space for forklift operations, which results in less chances of accidents. The CAS Heavy Duty Crane Scale (Caston II) is a trade approved crane scale designed for industrial environments.
Most crane scales are easy to park, with no special storage needs, except if they are digital versions, where you may need to keep them away from water to avoid damage to the reading unit. Digital versions like the H Digital Hanging Scale also make it easy to measure and read the weight, thus saving manual cross-checking and time consumption. This time saved can be spent on other productive activity.
