Description
Crane scale KERN HFD 6T-3 is a robust, high-resolution crane scale intended for suspended industrial weighing. Bearing the TÜV test mark, it fulfils EN 13155 for loose load lifting attachments and break safety together with EN 61010-1 for electrical safety. Its stable construction and rugged execution make it ideal for permanent service in industrial surroundings. High mobility comes from battery operation and a compact, lightweight design, enabling convenient use at several sites such as production, storage and dispatch. The hold function freezes the weight display when the hold key is pressed. Tare resets the indication to zero while the scale is loaded, so that removed or added loads appear directly on the display. A radio remote control is supplied as standard with a range of up to 20 m; the handset measures 65×24×100 mm and includes one 12 V, 23A battery. All functions except ON/OFF are selectable from the remote. Net weight is 15 kg. This crane scale from manufacturer Kern is offered as a single unit for professional industrial material-handling and weighing workflows in laboratory and production environments.

Questions about Crane Scale KERN HFD 6T-3
What is this article?
Crane Scale KERN HFD 6T-3 is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes KERN for laboratory use. It sits in Bench, platform & industrial scales, inside Balances & scales, in Lab instruments.
A bench, platform or industrial scale takes kilograms to tonnes, with a platform instead of a small pan. Resolution is coarser. The load cell and the platform size are the specification. It is the scale for a drum or a packed goods check, not for a milligram of standard.
A balance compares a mass with a standard. An analytical balance reads to 0.1 mg or finer and needs a draft shield and a stable bench. A precision balance is coarser and faster. A platform scale takes a heavier load. The reading is only as good as the calibration chain back to the kilogram, which is why test weights and a certificate exist. A moisture analyser is a balance with a heater: it records the loss of mass as water leaves. The unit of mass is kept by the BIPM, compared across Europe by EURAMET, and accredited by BELAC. NIST publishes the same measurement foundations.
