Hook scales
In our web-page you will find hook scales for industry. Industrial hook scales have a big display to read the weight properly. The smallest of our hook scales have a weight range up to 20 kg and a bright display which can be clearly read from a relatively far distance. TK-x series hook scales have a weighing range up to 20 t. Thanks to their infrared remote control, hook scales can be used under harsh conditions. (only in some models). Hook scales have a safety factor of 4. Maximum safety overload protection: 400% in all the weighing ranges (some models have an overload safety factor of  5/500%). Spare units like line charger and accumulators are available in all our hook scales. Hook scales can be accompanied with ISO calibration certificates. Calibration includes a laboratory calibration certificate (with the customer details). If you don't find the hook scale you are looking for, please contact us and we will help you find the best solution to suit your needs by calling our offices: +44 ( 0 ) 191 377 3398 and our technical staff will advise you regarding our products.

Bellow, you can see two practical applications of hook scales in industry. At the link hook scales you will be able to se other images about their industrial use. You can also get ISO calibration certificates optionally.

Here, you can see other details of our hook scales with a weight range from 100 kg to 20.000 kg. Hook scales are often recommended to be used in the loading ramp owing to the weight of the load can be read directly. However, they are also commonly used in the production field, for instance to elevate a drum to read the weight and to see conclusions directly in the production site. In the upper images you can see hook scales in a galvanized installation. Hook scales must be verified when they are used to determine the price of a product according to its weight. More information about our PCE-MCWLT6M series hook scales is available at the following link.

Verification of hook scales (only for those which can be verified) can be performed by the local authorized verification or by the PCE Group company. Once an official verification has been done the hook scales cannot be recalibrated using an external calibration weight. The first verification is valid for two years, but each following validation is good for one year and must be done annually. We recommend to those companies that wish to make an internal quality control to their hook scales to recalibrate them annually or to require a ISO calibration certificate. If you wish to obtain more information regarding the verification of hook scales or if you need scales verified, contact your local authorized verification centre. You could also consult one of our engineers or technicians if you have any questions. To meet the ISO 9000 standard, certificates consists on a laboratory calibration and a certificate with the results of the testing. In the certificate the name of the company or the details of the person who order the scale will appear except for series II scales which have to be verified in situ).
