When you need to weigh cargo of a considerable girth, it's imperative that this can be undertaken without undue stress and strain for the user.

The weight measurement is calculated through the load cells transducers which are evenly distributed in each corner of the platform. And thanks to the levelling feet, you can even use it on floor surfaces that are uneven and be certain to retain an accurate reading.
