LOW PROFILE DRUM SCALE

Fairbanks’ Low Profile Drum Scale series offers a line of compact, low profile floor scales ideal for blending, drum filling/checking or general weighing.

Easy Access
With a platform-to-floor height of only 1.5 inches, these low profile scales allow for easy access to the platform, helping prevent injury and potential spills. The low, gradual platform slope makes the scale ideal for positioning a drum on the platform while using a hand dolly. Live side rails offer the extra flexibility needed to weigh oversized or unusual loads.

Rugged Design
The Low Profile Drum Scale uses a very rugged and reliable load cell design. This scale withstands shock loads and overloads up to 150% of its capacity. Plus, capacity loads can be supported anywhere on the drum scale…even on the edge! The load cell is sealed to withstand frequent washdowns.

For Commercial Use
The Low Profile Drum Scales meet or exceed the specifications of National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Handbook 44 for use in commerce and are type evaluated under the National Type Evaluation Program (NTEP).

Portable and Flexible
