Frequently asked questions (FAQS) about Industrial Weighing Scales | Hanging Scales for Warehouses

What types of weighing scales are suitable for warehouse use?

AJ Products offers a wide selection of warehouse weighing scales, from highly accurate parcel scales for small items to heavy-duty pallet and platform scales capable of weighing up to 10,000 kg. Whether you're weighing parcels, pallets, or bulk stock, you can choose from models with functions like parts counting, percentage weighing and check weighing to match your operational needs.

How can I weigh heavy or awkward loads safely?

For large or difficult-to-handle items, crane scales provide a safe and efficient solution. These hanging scales are operated by remote control and feature a 360° rotating hook to make positioning easy. The display hold function ensures that the weight reading remains visible after the load is removed, making them ideal for busy industrial environments.

What are the benefits of using platform scales in a warehouse?

Platform scales are designed for weighing bulky or palletised goods up to three tonnes. They are useful for a wide range of tasks such as goods receiving, stock control, batching and quality checks. Some models include ramped sides, making them easy to use with pallet trucks, trolleys, and even wheelchairs, which helps streamline workflows across the warehouse floor.

Should I use a pallet truck scale or a separate weighing station?

Pallet truck scales offer a convenient two-in-one solution for weighing and transporting pallets at the same time, which helps save time and reduce manual handling. If you prefer to keep weighing and transport separate, pallet beam scales are a great option, ensuring the scale is always available for weighing while allowing flexibility in how goods are moved.

Crane scales and hanging weighing scales are ideal for lifting and weighing large or irregular loads that can’t be placed on a standard platform. Operated by remote control, they are equipped with 360° rotating hooks for safe and easy positioning. The display hold function ensures that results remain visible after the item is removed. With weight capacities of up to 10 tonnes, these units are built for tough environments such as manufacturing, logistics centres, and scrap yards.

Efficient Material Handling with Gravity Conveyors

Gravity conveyors provide a simple and efficient way to transport goods between workstations without motorised power. At AJ Products, our gravity roller conveyors are available with load capacities ranging from 80 kg to 1000 kg, making them suitable for everything from cartons and bins to palletised items. These systems operate smoothly with the help of a slight incline or manual push and are often used alongside floor or platform scales for streamlined weighing and handling. Their modular design makes them easy to configure around packing areas and dispatch zones. They can also be used in conjunction with pallet trolleys for added mobility.

Heavy Duty Rollers for Roller Conveyors

In high-throughput warehouse environments, heavy duty rollers offer a dependable solution for moving goods during weighing processes. AJ Products supplies steel rollers for maximum durability under heavy loads, as well as PVC and nylon options for quieter handling or use with delicate items. Our rollers integrate seamlessly into static conveyor lines or mobile setups like pallet truck scales, helping maintain efficient goods flow and accurate weight checks. Designed for long-term industrial use, these rollers offer a low-maintenance way to support your material handling system.
