Questions About Vintage Hanging Scales
  • 1stDibs ExpertMay 5, 2023
    How you read a hanging weight scale depends on the design. Analog hanging scales will usually have either a round or vertical bar dial marked with ounce and pound or milligram and gram markings. Look to where the needle points to determine the weight. Newer digital scales will usually show the weight in ounces or grams on a display. On 1stDibs, shop a collection of hanging scales.
  • 1stDibs ExpertMay 5, 2023
    Generally, hanging scales are accurate up to 99 percent, with newer digital models providing higher rates of accuracy than older manual models. However, all scales must undergo regular calibration to provide accurate weight measurements. Shop an assortment of hanging scales on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertMay 5, 2023
    Hanging scales are sometimes called crane scales. However, you can also refer to them simply as hanging scales. These instruments work by measuring the amount of force that an object exerts when hung from them. Shop a selection of hanging scales on 1stDibs.
