The RS Pro hanging scales are ideal for weighing items, for example when checking in goods or shipping them. The scales feature a stainless steel hook for supporting the item to be measured and a clear screen to display the weight. The built-in handle enables you to pick up the scale easily. A handy extractable tape measure is also included, up to 100cm approx. Three buttons on the scale provide on/off function, switching unit of measure and a data hold function. By pushing the data hold function, the display keeps the value on screen until you are ready to move on. The unit button allows you to switch between kilograms (kg), pounds (lb) and newtons (N). If the scales are left on, auto-off function kicks in and switches the scale off to avoid wasting battery.
