Ohaus Scales - The Best Industrial Scales Available

Ohaus has been a leader in the scale and balance industry for over 100 years now.  Based in New Jersey, the Ohaus Corporation manufacturers a variety of different weighing products for several different applications.  Their items are primarily found in labs and industrial situations and sold through a few different sources.  Some of the best deals can be found online though...  Just make sure to check out a few Internet stores before making a purchase.  They've also found a way to get into the education industry by providing schools and universities with quality scales at reasonable prices.  Ohaus's primary customers, however, are found in the industrial sector.  In the following text, you'll find a brief summary of 4 different product lines that fall under the industrial scale category.

A bench scale doesn't look like a bench. In fact, I'm not quite sure where they got this name from! It's basically just a smaller version of the floor scale that has a digital display at about the waist level. Ohaus's products range greatly. Some of them can only weight up to 10kg while others are capable of weights up to 300kg. You'll typically find these bench scales in smaller areas. Think about a shipping/receiving bay, for example. They don't have a lot of space to work with so something like this is ideal. It allows the employee to weigh product without being inconvenienced by a massive floor scale. Companies in the production side of things also use bench scales a lot. The Ohaus units are varied but all have a few features that every good balance should have. These include multiple weighing units and large LCD screens. Other options that are available to you include scales that have the ability to count items or calculate percentages. There are also dynamic scales that allow the user to weigh animals or other moving items. Check out Ohaus's website for more info about their Defender, CKW and Champ digital bench scales.

Ohaus Counting Scales

Counting scales are great. I wrote another article about them so check it out if you're not quite sure what these things are all about. Basically though, they allow you to count small items without doing so by hand. Ohaus makes a few different kinds of counting scales but all of them have a few key features. They have many presets and a big memory so you only have to input the items you wish to count once. This means you can count coins, screws or other small parts without re-calibrating the unit every time you use it. Read about their Ranger, Trooper, EC and EB units for more information.

Ohaus Portable Scales

One type of digital scale that's become more and more popular in recent years is of the portable variety. These are great for people that need to move their scales around. Think about a laboratory or educational use, for example. Classrooms and labs are often filled with people who all have to share a limited number of scales. Having a portable digital scale allows more people to get more work done because there isn't a massive line up. You can simply pass the small unit from table to table. Ohaus's scales are mostly made of stainless steel. They're easy to use and very user friendly. If you're looking for a cheap portable scale, you should read up on their CS series.

Two more scales that have generated a lot of buzz in the industry lately are the Ohaus Hand Held scale and the Ohaus Pocket scale. These two units take "portable" to the next level. Perfect for scientists or other professional who work in the field and need to take accurate measurments.

Ohaus Mechanical Scales

These things are blast from the past. I though the days of analog scales were over but no! Ohaus makes a full line of mechanical scales for use in classrooms and offices everywhere. There is no digital screen, no buttons and no memory. As with all Ohaus balances and scales though, the accuracy is dead on.

That's it, that's all! If you
