Crane scales aren't only designed to be used for weight limits in the thousands and tens and hundreds of thousands of pounds. They are also used for things such as weighing feed sacks and mail bags.
Some scales are designed specifically for use in food service, and can stand up to certain conditions, like moisture, better than other scales. Food scales are designed for weighing items in the food industry. They are often designed to weigh in your choice of pounds or ounces, or grams or kilograms.
