Marsden M-110 Column Scale

What are the benefits of pit mount scales?

Pit mounted dormant scales are designed to be sunk into the ground. This means that, when the scale is not in use, it can stay in situ. This saves time and it also saves space - the scale does not need to be stored away, and the scale can be walked over and pallet trucks rolled over it.

Additionally, being flush to the floor makes it easy to load the scale. Roll a pallet truck over the scale to get a weight for a pallet instantly. Ask our team about higher capacity options and your fork trucks can drive over the scale, too.

Why do pit mounted scales make it easier to weigh your goods?

Pit mounted scales - also called dormant scales - are perfect for areas where space is limited. They are sunken into the ground, saving on space that a traditional platform may have taken up. They are strong enough to withstand a fork truck and the flexible base and capacity sizes can be tailored to your needs. When not in use the scale sits dormant, meaning it is ready when it is needed - taking away time needed for setting up the scale.
