A fully functioning mechanical scale can be used just about anywhere under most circumstances—to use the scale, simply place the items you want to weigh on the platform and take your reading from the display. Even if your operation works almost exclusively with advanced digital scales, it is always a good idea to have a backup mechanical scale in the event that your business loses its power temporarily.
Mechanical scales’ reading displays are also analog, which means that each reading uses the same standards and measurement units—you only need to use the scale once to learn how it works and how it reads, unlike most digital scales that have numerous settings and units of measurement. If you are looking for a scale that will produce a quick read with the same units of measurement every time, the mechanical scale is a reliable, user-friendly option.
