Crane scales are used to measure the weight of a load as it is lifted, typically by a crane, hoist or winch. There are also hanging scales available similar to the ones that you have seen at produce markets.  Central Carolina Scale offers a wide selection of both mechanical and digital hanging scales.  These products are ideal for tasks such as material handling, controlled tensioning or simply weighing and selling produce and vegetables by the pound.  CCS offers a selection of cranes scales available with many different features and capacities to meet a variety of weighing needs.
