Q. What is Scale-IT.com?
A. Scale-IT.com is an Internet store dedicated to the sale of high
capacity scales and accessories. Most commonly available weighing scales have
capacities in the 250-300 pound range. As the general population of the country continues
to get taller and heavier, the weight of an increasing number of people exceeds this capacity, making it impossible to get accurate weight measurements. This is a
problem in a number of areas including personal health, clinical weighing, hospitals,
health clubs, schools, etc.
Scale-IT.com specializes in scales with capacities of at least 350 pounds and we
have models with capacities as high as 2,000 pounds. We have scales which use electronic,
digital and balance beam weighing technology with features from most basic to the most
elaborate available. If you have a high capacity weighing requirement - and more and more
individuals and organizations are going to find they do - we probably have a solution for
you.

Q. What is the difference between regular scales and high capacity scales?
A. Beyond the obvious ability to accurately measure higher weights, high
capacity scales are generally built more robustly, typically have larger foot pads and are
designed to survive use in a higher load environment. They also often have accessories
such as ramps, handrails, detachable displays, etc. to make it easier to install and use
the scale.

to have a longer service life.

Q. What disadvantages do high capacity scales have compared to regular scales?
A. The heavier duty construction required for high capacity scales adds some to manufacturing cost and makes them a little more expensive. They are also typically a little larger due to their larger foot pads. Also, the state of the art clinical high capacity scales, are sophisticated equipment and quite expensive. On the other hand, we carry a number of very capable high capacity scales which are only marginally more expensive the regular scales.

scale performance advantage.
