Salter Brecknell Platform Scales 15kg x 5g

Great for small items or components and ideal for small feed portions or supplements.

The WS15 bench scales give you a great value with a 1:3000 resolution, handling up to 15kg in 5g increments. They come with four full load bridge load cells and self-levelling feet for stability.

An 800mm cable links the platform to the brushed stainless steel display pod, which has easy-to-read 17mm high LCD digits. It also includes a plastic bracket so you can mount the display on a wall or bench.

Some handy features on the display include an on/off button, a push-button tare function to subtract the weight of empty containers and show only the net weight, a kg/lb switch for metric or imperial units, and a hold function that freezes the weight even if you take the package off.

Platform Dimensions: 380mm x 300mm x 27mm

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.
