Quality Scales Unlimited offers a variety of general purpose heavy duty industrial floor scales as well as custom floor scales tailored to your specific business applications.
Floor scales, as the name suggests, are scales which sit on a flooring surface or are incorporated into the flooring with a pit frame, making the scale level with the flooring. We offer floor scales with 1,000 to 80,000 lb load capacities with Legal-for-Trade applications. The weighing surface, or platform of the scale, is available in many dimensions and surface materials depending on your needs.
A system we find popular is Rice Lake Weighing System’s Rough-n-Ready package which is a 5,000 or 10,000 lb capacity RoughDeck 4’ x 4’ floor scale and a choice of Rice Lake indicator. Since most floor scales will use an indicator, this complete package makes the purchase easy and cost-effective. Another popular floor scale, which we have in our warehouse for immediate delivery, is the painted steel, diamond plate 4’ X 4’ Rice Lake Weighing Systems, general purpose RoughDeck.
Some warehouse floor scales are built specifically for use in extreme or harsh environments or to weigh awkward or unusually shaped loads. Below are some of the common types, along with the options and features that are generally available:

For some operations, a portable weighing system is more practical and cost-effective than setting up multiple stationary scales at different points. There are many portable floor scale variations, each with features created for ease of use and overcoming limitations.

Scales are used in many different environments, including where they are prone to getting dirty or exposed to corrosives. Washdown scales are built to be easily cleaned and their surfaces resist the corrosive and damaging effects of frequent exposure to water and cleaning compounds. Most feature a removable or liftable section which allows easy access to the interior parts for thorough cleaning.

Barrels, drums and palletized items can be particularly difficult to load and keep steady while weighing because of their awkward size and shape. Barrel, Drum and Pallet Scales (BDP) make weighing these items easier and safer with customized weighing platforms for securing these materials. The customized platforms also address the challenge of weighing drums or barrels of liquid items that slosh with movement, affecting the accuracy of the weight. BDP scales provide a stable and balanced measuring platform for these items.

Industrial floor scales are used in a wide range of locations, both indoors and outdoors. Additionally, the type of items they may need to weigh can also vary, so to increase their versatility you can invest in accessories to get the job done without needing to invest in multiple scales or additional weighing equipment:
