Weighing Equipment Available to Hire
Our hire fleet includes a range of weighing scales and calibration weights suitable for commercial, industrial and laboratory-adjacent environments. If you are unsure which scale is right for your task, our team can advise based on your weighing application, capacity needs and working environment.
Hire Counting Scales
Counting scales are ideal for stock takes, inventory control and parts counting. They help users count large quantities of identical items quickly and accurately, reducing manual counting time and improving efficiency.
Items can typically be counted by either entering a known piece weight using the numeric keypad or by placing a sample quantity onto the platform before adding the remaining items.
Counting scales commonly feature three LCD displays:
- Total weight
- Item weight
- Item count
This makes them particularly useful for warehouses, stores departments, manufacturing facilities and inventory control teams.
Hire Platform Scales
Platform scales are suitable for a wide range of industrial weighing tasks. Hire options can vary from smaller 300 mm x 300 mm bases through to large 2 m x 2 m pallet scales.
Our platform scales are built to withstand many of the applications typically associated with industrial environments, making them suitable for weighing boxes, components, pallets, containers and general production items.
- Useful for warehouse and despatch areas
- Suitable for goods-in and goods-out weighing
- Available in a range of platform sizes
- Appropriate for many manufacturing and logistics applications
Hire Crane Scales and Load Links
Crane scales, also known as load links, are typically used where suspended loads need to be monitored. They can provide a clear visual indication of loads being applied to overhead cranes and other lifting equipment.
These weighing solutions are commonly used in industrial lifting, engineering, manufacturing and handling applications where load awareness is important.
- Suitable for suspended load weighing
- Used with overhead cranes and lifting equipment
- Provides immediate visual load indication
- Useful for industrial and engineering environments
Hire Calibration Weights
Calibration weights are available to hire in various sizes and denominations depending on your requirement. Our calibration weights are traceable to national standards and are suitable for checking and supporting weighing equipment performance.
Hiring calibration weights can be especially useful for temporary projects, audits, equipment checks, service work or where purchasing a full set of weights is not practical.
