Bench Scale

A Bench Scale is a compact, versatile weighing device that’s often used in settings requiring accurate weight measurements for smaller or mid-sized items. These scales are designed to sit on a table or bench, making them ideal for tasks like portion control, quality control, packing, and shipping. Bench scales are commonly found in industries such as manufacturing, retail, agriculture, and laboratories.

Key Features of a Bench Scale
