What is a parcel scale?

Parcel scales are weighing scales used to check the weight of packages before they are posted to determine postage prices. They to large-scale transport and logistics operations, which require oversized robust industrial platforms for weighing large quantities of goods prior to dispatch.

Carriers will often give special deals for the bulk shipping of parcels in a sack or a cage; hanging scales and large floor industrial scales such as Kern's BIC platform scale are often used in this type application. These platform scales boast a non-slip, mild steel platform, and they're ideal for accurate checkweighing, parts counting and accumulation weighing applications in large industrial-scale warehouses, transport, logistics and distribution centres.

We also stock a selection of trade approved scales for selling packaged goods by weight, as well as IP-rated scales offering advanced dust and waterproof protection.
