Platform & floor scales
Industrial Platform Scales for Warehouses, Workshops and Plants
Platform, pallet and floor scales in mild steel and stainless steel, with indicators, printers and integration options — supplied, calibrated and serviced by Hunter Weighing from our Teralba workshop.
Choose a platform scale by capacity
Start with the heaviest item you'll weigh, then add a margin so the scale isn't working at its limit every day. This table shows the range we currently list. For other capacities or sizes, ask us — we'll tell you whether a platform scale or a weighbridge is the better fit.
| Capacity | Typical use | Mounting | Trade approved? |
|---|---|---|---|
| 150 kg – 1 t | Parcels, drums, bins, small pallets | Floor-standing, optional ramp | Trade-approved and non-trade options |
| 1 – 2 t | Pallets, IBCs, stores and dispatch | Floor-standing with ramp, or pit-set | Trade-approved and non-trade options |
| 2 – 5 t | Heavy pallets, steel, machinery parts | Floor-standing with ramp, or pit-set | Trade-approved and non-trade options |
| Above 5 t | Heavy industrial loads | Assessed per site | Confirmed at quote |
1–2 tonne floor and pallet scales
The everyday workhorse for warehouses, 3PL, freight and manufacturing. A 1.2 m x 1.2 m deck takes a standard Australian pallet, and a 1–2 tonne capacity covers most loaded pallets, IBCs and bins. Typical jobs include checking inbound deliveries, weighing outbound freight for consignment notes, and stock control.
Heavy-duty platform scales above 2 tonnes
For steel, machinery parts, heavy pallets and batching, we supply larger and higher-capacity floor scales up to 2 m x 2 m and 5 tonnes. If your loads are heavier — or arrive on a vehicle — a weighbridge may be the right tool, and our heavy-duty industrial scales guide compares the options.
Pit-set or above-ground mounting, and ramps
Most platform scales sit on the floor and are loaded by forklift. If you load with a pallet jack or trolley, add a ramp or set the scale into a shallow pit so the deck is flush with the floor. Pit-setting removes the step but needs floor work and keeping the pit clean; a ramp is quicker to install and easy to move.
Mild steel, stainless steel and harsh environments
Painted mild-steel decks suit warehouses and workshops. For food processing, washdown, chemical or wet areas, stainless steel and IP-rated load cells resist corrosion and handle regular cleaning.
Trade-approved vs non-trade platform scales
If you sell or charge by weight — freight by weight, product sold by the kilo — the scale must be an NMI-approved pattern and verified for trade use. For internal checks, batching or stock control, a non-trade scale is usually enough and costs less. Tell us how the weight will be used and we'll specify accordingly.
Indicators, printers and integration
Every platform scale is paired with a weight indicator. Options include label and ticket printers, and data connections to ERP, WMS or shipping systems so weights go straight into your records without retyping.
Supply, calibration and service
- Supply and installation of the scale, indicator and accessories.
- Calibration with certified test weights, and verification for trade-use scales.
- Scheduled servicing and repairs, including load cell replacement.
- Advice on calibration frequency for busy or harsh sites.
Pricing and lead time depend on capacity, deck size, finish and trade approval — request a quote with your requirements and we'll confirm both.
