Industrial crane scales, also known as hanging rail scales, are used for lifting and weighing large loads and heavy objects. When the load is lifted, the crane scale measures the weight of the load and displays the reading on the screen. Crane scales are widely used in industrial environments, from construction companies and warehouses to ports and construction sites. They allow for accurate measurement of the weight of loads lifted by cranes, providing a reliable means for load control and safe operation of lifting systems.

Digital models are available in a wide range from 150 kilograms up to 300 tons. They also include a remote control for remote operation. For smaller forces, see the dynamometers.
