Trying to decide what floor scale to buy in 2010 is very difficult.  Each website you visit has a different "outstanding" scale.  Prices vary from around $600 with freight included to over $1800 plus freight.  Ultimately, the consumer has to make the choice that is best for them.  Many of the "low cost" floor scales offered today in the US are imported and have very little track record of performance.  However, if you are looking for a scale that isn't dirt cheap and at the same time isn't the top of the line model either, then we recommend taking a look at the Digi Summit 4x4 floor scale.  Overall, we think it is a great value and it is available for purchase from the floor scale experts at Central Carolina Scale.

An Economical Choice Offering Exceptional Performance
The Digi Summit® 3000 Series provides exceptional performance in light industrial and legal-for-trade applications. While value-priced, the Summit 3000 also employs a rugged design to deliver efficient installation and operation.

Top Notch Features
The convenient top-access junction box is housed in a durable ABS enclosure and is protected from fork trucks and other industrial abuse by the Summit 3000’s diamond treadplate steel deck. The scale has fully adjustable, rigid polyurethane rubber feet to accommodate weighing on uneven surfaces.

Industrial Tough
The load cell cable exits the weldment towards the interior of the scale, allowing you the flexibility to route it out any side of the scale to the digital weight indicator. This also means the indicator load cell cable is at floor level—reducing the potential for damage.

Standard System includes:
(1) 120 Digital Readout
(1) Digi Summit 3000 Series Low Profile 4x4 Floor Scale
(1) Factory Calibration 5000 x 1 lb or 10,000 x 2 lb

We wish everyone a Merry Christmas and we'll see you in 2010

The built-in rechargeable battery supply not only monitors the battery life, but also recharges the battery while the scale is in operation ensuring no unexpected down time.

Believe it or not, Industrial Floor Scales are still being built in the United States of America.  The Salter floor scale factory in Fairmont, Minnesota has been producing quality platform scales since the early 1970's.  Why is this important?  Many of the import floor scales that flood the market these days don't have the quality or consistency of the Salter.
