Hanging Scale: Weigh wherever you are
A hanging scale needs no level floor and hardly any space. You hang it from a hook, beam or gambrel and get a result in seconds. For hunters that is ideal for weighing a carcass, a rucksack or a portion of bait. On the farm the same hanging scale helps with feed sacks, calves in a weighing sling or parcels you want to send out. It is one of those tools you will soon reach for every day.
Digital models for every load
The Kerbl DigiScale range covers a wide span. The DigiScale 50 weighs up to 50 kg, has a built in tape measure and a tare function so you can subtract containers or bags. The DigiScale 300 is built as a crane scale and suits game, feed and heavier loads. For the hunting ground there is an electronic game scale up to 300 kg with carabiner hook and tare, plus a game scale up to 200 kg for weighing roe deer, boar and stags right on the gambrel. When things get really heavy, the DigiScale 1000 carries up to a tonne, for example when weighing big bales or materials around the farm. The Waldhausen hand scale up to 50 kg is a compact solution for feed and parcels.
Mechanical without batteries
You do not always want to depend on power. The Kerbl spring balance with carabiner hook is light and small enough for any jacket pocket, ideal for quick checks on the go. The Kerbl dial scales, including the Premium version, show the weight on a clear dial and work in cold and wet weather without batteries. That is a real advantage in the larder or stable, where a scale often hangs unused for long periods. For occasional use, a mechanical scale is often the simplest and most robust choice.
Frequently asked questions
How accurate is a digital hanging scale or game scale?
For game, feed and parcels, digital hanging scales are generally accurate enough. If you weigh very small amounts, choose a scale with a lower maximum load, as it reads in finer steps.
Why does my scale show changing readings?
Usually the load is still swinging. Wait until it hangs still and make sure the rope is not touching a wall or beam.
Can I use the hanging scale to weigh calves or lambs?
Yes, with a weighing sling or carry bag it works well. Use the tare function to subtract the weight of the sling or bag first.
Hanging scales for the field, farm and shipping
A hanging scale is quick to grab and does not need a fixed place. Hang it from a hook or gambrel and you know straight away what a carcass, feed sack or parcel weighs. The digital Kerbl DigiScale models cover loads from 50 kg up to a tonne, and with the tare function you simply subtract containers or slings. For weighing the bag there are electronic game scales up to 200 and 300 kg. For trips out, the small spring balance with carabiner fits in any pocket. The dial scales work without batteries and are ready instantly, even in frost or rain. There is also a handy Waldhausen hand scale for feed and parcels. That way you will find the right scale for every load. Always hang it from a point that can safely take the weight, and only read it once the load has stopped swinging.
