How to Choose the Right Crane Scale for Your Industry – Complete Guide

When it comes to weighing heavy loads in dynamic industrial environments, crane scales are one of the most efficient and space-saving solutions. But with so many models, capacities, and features available in the market, choosing the right crane scale can be overwhelming.

Whether you're in logistics, construction, steel, or warehousing, selecting the right type of crane scale is critical to ensure operational efficiency, safety, and accurate measurements.

As a top crane scale manufacturer and dealer in Ahmedabad, Shree Shree Weighing Solutions brings you this expert guide to simplify your decision.

🛒 What Factors Should You Consider When Buying a Crane Scale?

Here’s what you should keep in mind when selecting a crane weighing scale for your industrial or commercial operations:

1. Load Capacity

The first step is to know the maximum weight your crane will be lifting regularly. Crane scales are available in various capacities like:

• 1 Ton: Ideal for textiles, packaging units, and light-duty manufacturing.

• 2–3 Tons: Suitable for transport hubs, automotive workshops, and light industrial loads.

• 5 Tons: Most popular choice for foundries, logistics, and recycling.

• 10 Tons & Above: Used in shipyards, steel plants, and bulk cargo handling.

Pro Tip: Never buy a crane scale with the exact weight you need. Always leave a buffer of 20–30% to prevent overloading.

2. Display & Readability

Look for a large LED or LCD display with backlight features — especially if your operations are outdoors or in low-light environments. Many of our models also come with wireless remote indicators so the operator can read the weight from a distance.

Advanced models from Shree Shree Weighing Solutions offer:

• Wireless handheld indicators

• Audible overload alarms

• Bluetooth-enabled displays

3. Durability & Build Quality

A crane scale must survive tough industrial conditions. Choose a model that offers:

• IP65 or IP67-rated body

• Rust-proof, weather-resistant casing

• Durable hooks and shackles

• Rugged ADI load cells (not cheap Chinese imports)

We proudly manufacture non-Chinese component crane scales in Ahmedabad, designed to last for years in harsh work zones.

4. Power Backup & Portability

A good crane scale should offer:

• Rechargeable battery (at least 40–60 hours of backup)

• Low-battery indicators

• Quick charging time

• Easy-to-carry design with a robust handle

Some of our digital crane scale models also support solar charging or emergency power backup for remote industrial areas.

5. Calibration & Compliance

Ensure the scale is:

• NABL certified

• Stamped by the Legal Metrology Department

• ISO & BIS compliant

At Shree Shree Weighing Solutions, all crane scales come with proper government certification, documentation, and stamping assistance across Gujarat and pan-India.

6. Environment-Specific Requirements

Your crane scale must adapt to your environment:

• Hot environments (like foundries)? Choose a heat-resistant housing.

• Dusty conditions (like cement or mining)? Choose IP-rated dustproof models.

• Outdoor weighing? Go for water-resistant, wireless models with sun-readable displays.

Our team helps you select the exact weather-proof or environment-proof crane scale for your specific work conditions.
