Cheap Digital Scales

How cheap digital scales are improving competition in the marketplace making it better for consumers.

Chinese digital scales manufacturers produce low-quality cheap digital scales products, which work out more expensive for consumers as they need to be replaced much more quickly, or often don’t work at all. The good news is that consumers still benefit from this because genuine cheap digital scales manufacturers have still reduced their prices meaning that consumers, if they buy from the right place, get more bang for their buck.

With so many fake cheap digital scales flooding the market a price war ensues, which can often be a good thing. In fact, competition is not only relevant to the digital scales market, it is what capitalism is based upon. As a result, manufacturers have had to lower costs, or in other words put out the same products cheaper to better compete, and naturally the benefits of cheap digital scales (lower prices from genuine manufacturers) is passed on to the customer!

When to recalibrate Cheap Pocket Scales

People often ask us when to recalibrate pocket scales. Often the problem is actually that a customer has bought some cheap pocket sales from a Chinese manufacturer and the recalibration function doesn’t work.  

If the cheap pocket scales screen ever reads ‘LLL’ or ‘EEE’ it normally suggests that the weighing mechanism has been damaged, likely from being dropped. However, with cheap pocket scales, dropping them is not always the cause and it could be that you will need to re-invest in a new product as you might find that the guarantee is not genuine and that when you send the cheap pocket scales back for repair, they are never returned. Nonetheless, it is worth trying to recalibrate it by following the instructions.

If the screen reads ‘888’ it suggests that the batteries are close to running out. Alternatively, that the cheap pocket scales are having trouble defining ‘0’ is.  This is also a common problem with cheap pocket scales. If you replace the batteries and the problem persists, you will need to send your cheap pocket scales in for repair if they are still under guarantee.

‘UNST’ means that the machine is on an uneven surface. If you are sure that this is not the problem, then it indicates that the cheap pocket scales has load cell damage. If this is the case, please try recalibrating the pocket scales. If this produces no positive outcome then you will need to consult your warranty guidelines.

Digital Salter Scales

The history of Salter and how Salter digital scales now fit into the company’s offering

Salter was originally a UK brand that set up in the 1760s supplying domestic weighing scales. Salter is now a global player with a really diverse product range, producing much more than just scales, but the majority of the scales it produces now are stylish Salter digital scales. 

Richard Salter was a spring maker from Bilston who started the Salter business by making ‘pocket steelyards’, which are a bit like fishermen’s scales. Little did he know that even these fishermen scales would be modernised into Salter digital scales two hundred and fifty years on.

In 1825, Richard Salter’s nephew, George Salter took over and set up a manufacturing business for Salter. This was the first step towards the Salter digital scales products we know today, as it was then that they started producing on a big scale. Even though Salter was making all kinds of scales, including the first bathroom scale, we doubtful even George fathomed bathroom Salter digital scales! Salter soon diversified out of scales and started to produce items as diverse as coin operated machines.

In the 1900s Salter went from strength to strength remarkably, was still owned by the same Salter family that set up the original Salter Scales business. It still stays true to its scale roots, as scales, albeit Salter digital scales, make up the majority of its core business, which is a great thing: Salter digital scales are the best in the business.

Finally, in 1972 Salter was bought by by Staveley Industries Plc and was split into separate subsidiaries, housewares and industrial etc but as we say, digital Salter scales are still in there in housewares, but they also make Salter digital scales for industrial purposes too.

Electronic Scales

Why using pallet trucks with electronic scales is useful

Pallet trucks need to transport very heavy material from one place to another. Carrying very heavy goods comes with risks and so each pallet truck has a maximum capacity it can carry. In the interests of safety, this weight must never be surpassed. This is why electronic scales are very useful in this industry. Electronic scales can weigh material with unparalleled precision. As more material is loaded on to the truck, the electronic scales can be watched to see if the truck can take any more weight. With some electronic scales you can set a maximum to be reached and the electronic scales make a sound when that weight is reached.

The electronic scales on the pallet truck work by a user reading the weight displayed on the LCD screen. Electronic scales for these kinds of labouring purposes tend to be waterproof too.
