Manage diverse weighing requirements with professional other balances, featuring a versatile range of platform and bench scales. This collection is headlined by high-durability instruments from Kern & Sohn and A&D, engineered to handle larger capacities without sacrificing technical accuracy. As a critical sub-category within our balances and analytical measurement and testing ecosystems, these balances provide the robust weighing surfaces and flexible display options necessary for industrial research, bulk sampling, and general laboratory logistics.
Why Choose Professional Platform and Bench Balances?
Our curated collection of general-purpose weighing instruments is engineered for high-capacity performance, durability, and operational flexibility:
- High-Capacity Platform Weighing: We stock robust models like the Kern DE 300K50DL, capable of weighing up to 350kg, making them ideal for bulk material handling and industrial applications.
- Advanced Dual Range Technology: Utilize instruments such as the Kern DE 6K1D and DE 60K10DL that offer dual weighing ranges for greater precision at lower weights while maintaining high total capacity.
- Flexible Display Positioning: Access balances with separate display devices connected by a cable, allowing for ergonomic viewing even when weighing oversized objects that might obscure a standard integrated screen.
- Stainless Steel Durability: Select models featuring large stainless steel weighing plates (up to 522 x 403 mm) that are easy to clean and resistant to the rigors of daily laboratory and warehouse use.
- Battery and Mains Operation: Choose versatile scales that support both battery power for mobile use and mains adapters for permanent laboratory installations.
LabFriend supplies other balances from world-leading manufacturers of industrial and scientific weighing technology:
- Kern & Sohn: Premier German manufacturer providing the comprehensive DE series, recognized for balancing high-capacity durability with precision dual-range features.
- A&D: Global specialist in electronic weighing, offering high-reliability bench and platform scales for technical and industrial environments.
Versatile weighing equipment is essential for comprehensive facility management; to further optimize your workspace and measurement accuracy, we recommend exploring these related categories:

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is a "Dual Range" balance?
A dual-range balance, such as many models in the Kern DE series, automatically switches between two different readabilities; it provides higher precision for small weights and switches to a standard resolution for larger loads.
2. Can these platform balances be used for mobile weighing?
Yes, many bench and platform scales feature battery operation or internal rechargeable packs, allowing them to be moved between different laboratory or warehouse stations as needed.
3. Are the display units on these balances waterproof?
While the stainless steel platforms are highly resistant, the display units vary in protection ratings; you should check the specific IP rating if your application involves high moisture or chemical splashes.
4. How do I ensure accuracy for a large platform scale?
Like all balances, platform scales should be calibrated regularly; due to their high capacity, they require larger M1 or M2 class weights for accurate calibration.
