Can a weighing platform be built into the floor?

There are different types of scales for on or in the floor, each with its own application:

• Floor scale: placed on the floor. You can stack crates on it or place a pallet on it with a forklift.
• Low-profile scale: features a ramp, so you can drive a trolley or pallet truck straight onto it.
• Pit-mounted scale: a floor scale built into the floor, so you can drive straight over it.
• Wheel weighing platforms: special platforms for weighing vehicles such as cars and trailers. These allow you to determine not only the total weight, but also which wheel carries the most weight.

Which type suits you best depends on what you weigh and how you get it onto the scale.

That depends on what you are going to weigh. If you weigh crates, a smaller platform will do. If you weigh pallets, you need a larger size.

Popular sizes are around 1.0 to 1.25 metres, as these are suitable for Euro pallets. There are also larger platforms, for example 1.5 x 2.5 metres, for large packaging. Most applications fall within a capacity of up to 3,000 kg.

There are also options for heavy-duty applications, with scales of up to 10,000 kg. These are used, for example, for weighing steel coils. We also take care of checking these heavy scales: for this, we arrive with a truck full of certified test weights.
