Is 1 tonne the right capacity?
The 1-tonne model reads in 1 kg steps, which suits loads from a few hundred kilograms to a tonne: engine blocks, bales, bulk bags, steel bundles and pallets lifted on a hoist. For heavier lifts, the HY OCS range goes up to 10 tonnes, and the OCS 20-tonne scale beyond that. For loads under 500 kg, a lighter OCS 500 kg crane scale gives finer readings.
Using it safely
Hang the scale directly from the hook and lift vertically, since side pulls give false readings and strain the housing. Make sure the hoist, hook and shackle are rated for at least 1 tonne. The scale tolerates a 125% safe overload and a 400% ultimate load, which is protection, not extra working capacity.
Delivery, calibration and price
The 6 V 4 Ah rechargeable battery gives over 80 hours of use. We deliver across Kenya, calibrate the scale before dispatch and can verify and stamp it for trade (Scalestech is approved by Weights & Measures to verify and stamp scales). Request a quote, or browse all hanging and crane scales.
