Why WS Series Works for Stock Control
The Brecknell WS Series scales can be useful for stock control in environments like warehouses, retail backrooms, and light industrial settings. Here’s how they fit into that role:
Capacity Options:
WS15: Up to 15 kg – good for small items or components.
Accuracy: Fine resolution (5 g to 50 g depending on model) ensures precise inventory counts.
Tare Function: Lets you weigh items in containers without including container weight – essential for stock counting.
Hold Feature: Freezes the weight reading, useful when handling large or awkward items.
Durability: Stainless steel platform and robust load cells handle repeated use in stock environments.
Portability: Runs on batteries or mains power, so you can move it around the warehouse or stockroom.
Limitations for Stock Control - Not legal-for-trade: These scales are for internal use only, not for selling by weight.
Best Use Cases
Counting and verifying incoming stock.
Checking weights for storage and shipping.
Managing bulk items where weight correlates to quantity.

The LCD screen has 17mm digits and a backlight, making it easy to see. The platform and display case are made of stainless steel, and you can mount it on a wall or a bench.

No, WS Series scales are not certified for trade; they are designed for general weighing purposes in catering, warehousing, and light industrial settings.
Salter Brecknell
The Brecknell brand has always been associated with global weighing manufacturers and has been viewed in many different guises over the last century.
Charles W Brecknell and Co was founded in 1913 in Birmingham, England and was the first firm to manufacture visible weighers for the wholesale industry. The company continued to expand into the 1920s and was purchased by W & T Avery Limited in 1926.
The Salter brand has also played a part in Brecknell’s history, and product was sold under the name Salter Brecknell for several years when Weigh Tronix and Avery Scales merged to form Avery Weigh-Tronix in 2003. The brand has since been re-branded as ‘Brecknell’ and continues to be sold under this name today.
