Floor Scales
Cardinal Scale’s new Echelon EH series floor
scales are used for light industrial and NTEP
legal-for-trade applications for warehouses, logis-
tics operations, processing plants, and shipping/
receiving departments. Ideally suited for pal-
let, drum, and package weighing, the Echelon’s
checkered carbon steel deck tread-plate with
powder-coat paint handles rugged industrial
weighing. The floor scales come in 4-sq-ft steel
checkered deck platforms for a universal
industrial weighing size and a choice
of 5000-lb x 1-lb or 10,000-lb x 2-lb
capacities. The scale’s NTEP-certified,
FM-approved waterproof, anti-corro-
sion shear beam load cells provide high
accuracy and reliability.
