The weight indicators also tend to be separate to the platform, or weighing surface, enabling the indicator to stand to one side out of harms way, mounted on the wall or as in some types mounted on a pillar to the rear of the base.The benefits of using a larger weighing table, platform, is obvious; much larger items can be weighed without the object obstructing the visual display of the scale as this indicator can be positioned to one side or above the platform. | |||
The larger platform scales are used for pallet weighing typically in warehouses or dispatch departments, some variations can be pit mounted enabling pallet or fork lift trucks to stand on them with the items being weighed.
