Key parameters
NTEP-certified portable 24×24 in bench scale for lighter industrial and commercial weighing — mild-steel base with 304 stainless cover, 250 or 500 lb capacity, and a choice of large rear wheels or locking casters.
Key advantages
- Portable column design — Rear column acts as a move handle and indicator stand (OEM cites 380 Synergy mounting).
- Wheel or caster — 8 in rubber wheels with ball bearings, or 3½ in casters (two fixed / two swivel with lock).
- 250 / 500 lb — 24×24 in platform; about 8.75 in (wheel) or 9.31 in (caster) overall height.
- Rugged build — Mild-steel powder-coated frame; AISI 304L stainless cover; IP67 aluminum load cell; 200% max overload.
- Legal-for-trade path — NTEP 06-010 Class III 5,000 d; Measurement Canada AM-5625 (OEM literature).
Typical applications
- Portable bench weighing in warehouses and light manufacturing.
- Shipping / receiving checks that need to roll between stations.
- Aviation or shop-floor portable weighing with a column-mounted indicator.
- NTEP Class III general-purpose platform weighing with a compatible indicator.
Selection guide
- Capacity — 250 lb (125 kg) vs 500 lb (225 kg).
- Mobility — Wheel models 97072/97073 vs caster models 97074/97075.
- Indicator — Pair with a Rice Lake indicator on the column stand (380 Synergy called out on the 2025 sheet).
- Cable — Standard 10 ft (3 m) load-cell cable — do not shorten (OEM install guidance).
Common mistakes
- Cutting the load-cell cable — OEM states the cell is temperature-compensated for the exact 10 ft length.
- Ordering without an indicator — HDP is the weighing element; indication is separate.
- Ignoring five-point overload stops when side-loading or dropping loads.
- Skipping base grounding — OEM recommends grounding to drain static into the AC ground.
When to RFQ / what to tell us
- Capacity and wheel vs caster part number; indicator preference.
- Quantity and ship-to country.

FAQ
Q: Wheel or caster — which should I pick? A: Wheels suit longer rolls with a tipped column handle; casters (with locks) suit tight floors and parked use.
Q: Is an indicator included? A: No — the column mounts optional Rice Lake indicators; specify the indicator on the RFQ.
Q: What should I send for a quote? A: Capacity, wheel vs caster, indicator, quantity, ship-to.
