Digital Kitchen & Crane Scales

Digital scales in two kinds: kitchen and platform scales that read in one-gram steps, and hanging crane scales for lifted loads. The brands are Emajin, Klika and Shoppers Home for the platform scales and Kartrite and Klika for the crane scales. The page lists no bathroom scales and no postal scales.

How to choose a scale

For weighing on a plate. The Emajin scales list a 40kg capacity with a 1g increment, a platform size of 35x23cm, a large LCD and a rechargeable battery that runs up to 140 hours, with AC power as well. They list memory for up to 8 unit prices and a 99 accumulation memory. The Shoppers Home 40kg scales list the same 1g increment and the same 140 hours on a single charge.

For a smaller kitchen scale. The Klika kitchen scale lists a 10KG capacity, 1 gram graduations, a switch between gm and oz, a tare function and 2x AA batteries. Its scale base is listed at 250MM x 170MM.

For weighing a suspended load. The Kartrite crane scale lists a 300kg maximum load, 0.1kg increments, a 20mm LED display, kg, Newtons or pounds, and 3 x AA batteries not included. The Klika crane scale lists a 500kg maximum load, 0.2kg increments, a minimum load of 50kg and a built-in rechargeable battery with an AC adaptor. Both list a 360 degree rotation hook, and both listings say the scale is not for trade use.
