Pallet scales are large floor scales used to weigh items loaded on standard pallets. These scales indicate the weight of the entire object being weighed, including parts of the item that hang over the edge of the scale. Ramps for use with a forklift can be added to pallet scales.

Counting floor scales are large, flat scales with a remote display that can be viewed when the scale is covered by large objects such as a group of boxes or paint cans.

Drum floor scales have a digital display and are for weighing plastic and steel drums up to 2,500 lb.

Beam balance floor scales have a graduated scale display similar to scales in medical exam rooms. These scales can be used in areas where electricity is not accessible.

Platform floor scales are larger than bench platform counting scales and can fit larger items. They are placed on a packaging station floor, rather than on a countertop or bench, and are used to measure heavy items. Weight information is displayed on a removable neck.
