Industrial Floor Scales for Logistics, Warehousing, and Production

Our models are ideal for demanding environments such as metalworking, shipping, or food production. Thanks to fully integrated load cells and protected cable connections, our floor scales can be put into operation immediately – without complex setup.

When conventional platform scales reach their limits, our non-verifiable floor scales offer the ideal solution – for example, for large-volume loads or heavy-duty applications.

What is a Floor Scale?

A floor scale is a type of industrial scale consisting of a sturdy platform with integrated load cells and a digital scale indicator. Our models are made of slip-resistant checker plate steel or stainless steel and are particularly robust. High-precision measurement technology enables accurate results – even under continuous load.

Key Selection Criteria for Your Floor Scale

  • Capacity: Max. rated loads of 600, 1000, 1500, 3000 kg up to 8 tons for heavy-duty models
  • Installation type: flush-mounted with pit frame or above ground with ramp
  • Platform size: Standard dimensions (1,000 × 1,000 mm to 1,500 × 1,500 mm) or custom sizes on request
  • Material: powder-coated steel or stainless steel
  • Use with forklifts? → Risk of overloading → heavy-duty scale up to 8 tons required

For special applications, we recommend U-shaped pallet scales, ideal for quick weighing of pallets using pallet trucks.

Installation Variants & Accessories

Our floor scales can be installed flexibly – either flush with a pit frame or with practical ramps. We also offer:

  • Stands & wall brackets for scale displays
  • Extendable scale cables
  • Printer & software integration
  • Bump guards, drive-over protection & combination solutions

Advantages of Our Floor Scales at a Glance

  • Maximum precision thanks to laser-welded load cells
  • Overdimensioned load capacity for maximum safety & durability
  • Maintenance-friendly design with easy access
  • Compatibility with ERP/inventory systems via RS232
  • Optional legal-for-trade calibration according to EU Directive 90/384/EEC

Setup and Commissioning

Supplied lifting rings allow for quick placement of the scale. Height-adjustable feet ensure perfect leveling, while the scale display is connected via a durable, steel-armored cable – ensuring a smooth start. If changes to the junction box are needed, easy access is provided after removing the protective plate.

Calibration – When Is It Required?

Calibration of your floor scale is legally required for the following applications:

  1. Price determination by weight in commercial transactions
  2. Official use (e.g. fees, penalties)
  3. Production of pre-packaged goods

Simply select the “with calibration” option when purchasing if you intend to use the scale in accordance with legal requirements.

FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions About BOSCHE Floor Scales

The capacity should always match the maximum load plus a safety margin of approximately 20%. For typical warehouse and logistics applications, a floor scale up to 1,500 kg is sufficient. For forklift traffic or high-volume loads, we recommend models up to 3,000 kg or our heavy-duty scales up to 8 tonnes.

A floor scale is a flat platform scale onto which goods are placed by hand, trolley or forklift. A U-shaped pallet scale is driven under directly with a pallet truck and is ideal for quickly weighing complete Euro pallets. BOSCHE offers both variants — including legally for trade versions.

Legal verification is required by law whenever weight is used to determine price in commercial transactions, for official purposes, or in the production of pre-packaged goods. BOSCHE supplies floor scales with or without verification — the verification service is carried out directly at our factory in Damme.

Yes — our stainless steel floor scales are specifically designed for environments with heightened hygiene requirements, such as the food or pharmaceutical industry. They are made from corrosion-resistant steel, easy to clean and comply with the relevant IP protection ratings for wet environments.

Yes — all BOSCHE floor scales can be combined with matching drive-on ramps, allowing trolleys, pallet trucks or pallets to be easily rolled onto the weighing platform. The ramps are available as optional accessories directly in the shop and are matched to the platform dimensions.

Yes — most BOSCHE floor scales transmit weight data via an RS232 interface directly to ERP and warehouse management systems. USB or Ethernet connections are also available depending on the weighing indicator selected. Please contact us if you have any questions about integration.
