Overhead track scales are mounted above a suspended rail that is used to weigh products.

Overhead track scales are commonly used in meatworks and butcher shops to weigh sides of beef or similar. When fitted with a suspended weigh plate, overhead track scales can also be used for weighing boxes and other general items.

The framework for the overhead track scale framework needs to be very rigidly mounted and is typically bolted to the building ceiling or from wall mounted beams as any movement or deflection can cause weighing errors in the overhead track scales.

A digital weight indicator connected to the overhead track scale is usually wall mounted out of the path of items as they are being pushed across the weigh rail.

A&D's 600 series over head track scales are manufactured in Australia to provide a rugged and reliable overhead track scale operation. Other benefits of the high quality overhead trace scale include:

• choice of rail length
• choice of suspension bracket length
• dual shear beam loadcells
• trade approved NSC 6/18/17B
• 600kg capacity
• galvanised finish
• 300% overload protection
• centre and end load compansation for accurate weighings
• suitable for use with hooks, slides and rollers
