These rugged hanging dial scales are designed for heavy-duty use and are ideal scales for a variety of uses. The 8" (20cm) dial is easy-to-read and the dial mechanism is protected by a lens while the plastic housing eliminates dents and scratches, thereby enhancing long-term use and accuracy. The heavy-duty plated 4" (102mm) S-hook suspends commodities while weighing. The MCS-60M model incorporates an adjustable pointer which may be set anywhere on the dial in order to offset additional weight. Both net and gross weights are indicated fast and accurately with knife-blade pointers.
