Retail scales are used for weighing goods in retail and small-scale wholesale. In this guide, we explain how to select the right scale based on accuracy, capacity, functions, and platform type. We also present MERTECH’s top 5 commercial scale models.
What Are Commercial Scales?
They belong to class III precision and show measurements on both operator and customer sides. Displays show:
- weight of the product,
- price per kilogram,
- total cost.
Key Selection Criteria
- Maximum capacity (Max Weight): 15 kg = 2 g; 32 kg = 5 g; 60 kg = 10 g.
- Division value: the smaller it is, the more precise the results.
- Minimum load: the lowest weight the sensor can detect.
Useful Functions
- Tare, zeroing, change calculation
- Price memory, quick keys
- Counting and comparator modes
For self-service: touchscreen and label printing (e.g. M-ER 735 PM SELFPRINT).
Other Features to Consider
- Platform: stainless steel; 30×20 cm or larger is optimal
- Protection: IP54–IP68 depending on indoor/outdoor use
- Display: LED for daylight, LCD for indoor lighting
- Battery: 4–6 months autonomy, USB charging
- POS Connectivity: via USB-HID or RS-232
