You may be searching carefully for a heavy duty platform scale. Most often platform scales are used to weigh heavier or larger items. This can include but is not limited to livestock, cartons, wheelchairs, and industrial equipment. The scales are often spotted in the medical fields but may be used in nearly any industry. Most platform scales come with a low profile making it easier to load and unload items to be weighed. The readout on these scales may be desk mounted, or may be on a tower or post that rises above the platform for user viewing ability.
