Buy crane scales online at ESSMANN

Crane scales, also called crane hook scales, are used to weigh freely suspended loads and are generally designed for heavy weights. They are used in everyday industrial operations as well as in the food trade or the transport business. The weighing range of crane scales can – depending on the model and the intended use – be between 20 and 100 kg or even between 50 and 100 t. As digital hanging scales, crane scales belong to the force measuring devices and are characterized by high measurement accuracy. They can be used flexibly, are easy to transport to the load to be weighed and thus make workflows more efficient.

At Essmann you can buy robust, high-quality brand-name devices online at attractive prices. You order conveniently from your desk and enjoy first-class customer service. Our competent service team takes care of your questions and concerns regarding crane scales.
