Platform Scales are a type of weighing scale that features a flat platform on which the items or objects being weighed are placed. These scales are commonly used in commercial and industrial applications for weighing large or heavy items, such as pallets, drums, and machinery parts. These can be made from a variety of materials, such as stainless steel, aluminum, or heavy-duty plastic, depending on the specific application. Platform scales typically feature a digital display that provides an accurate weight measurement, as well as other features such as tare functions, data storage, and connectivity to other devices or systems.
