Bench Scales and Portable Scales
Accurate and reliable weighing for a wide range of applications
A bench scale, also known as a bench top scale, benchtop weight scale, or compact scale, is a small scale that can fit on top of a workstation or workbench. Digital bench top scales are used for smaller weighing needs and more intricate processes, where the operator needs to be close to the scale.
