Digital Scales for Weighing, Packing and Stock Handling

Measure products, parcels, stock and other suitable items with digital scales from Vartiss Store. The current range includes compact 40kg counting and pricing scales together with larger 150kg and 300kg electronic platform scales for heavier loads.

Current models provide digital LCD displays, rechargeable-battery operation, AC power options and pricing or accumulation functions depending on the scale. Vartiss Store is based in Bentleigh, Melbourne, with delivery available across Australia.

Capacity, weighing increments, platform dimensions and intended use vary considerably between models, so always compare the individual specifications before ordering.


Choosing the Right Digital Scale

The best scale depends on what you need to weigh, the maximum load and the level of measurement detail required.

  • Maximum capacity: Current options include 40kg, 150kg and 300kg capacities.
  • Weighing increment: The current 40kg models read in 1g increments, the 150kg model in 20g increments and the 300kg model in 50g increments.
  • Platform size: Compact 40kg models use a 35cm x 23cm platform, while the 150kg and 300kg scales use larger 50cm x 40cm platforms.
  • Display: Current products show weight, unit price and total price on digital displays.
  • Pricing functions: Unit-price memory and accumulation functions vary between models.
  • Power: Current scales can operate using AC power or built-in rechargeable batteries.
  • Portability: Smaller scales are easier to move between benches or work areas, while larger platform scales require more floor space.
  • Load size: Consider both the weight and physical dimensions of the items being weighed.
  • Working environment: Check operating temperature, humidity and surface requirements where relevant.
  • Trade use: If the scale will be used for trade or another regulated purpose, confirm the applicable calibration and legal requirements before use.

Do not select a scale by maximum capacity alone. A higher-capacity scale generally uses larger measurement increments, so the level of detail required is also important.


Types of Digital Scales Available

40kg Digital Counting and Pricing Scales

The current 40kg digital scales are available in black and white. They combine weighing, pricing and accumulation functions in a relatively compact benchtop format.

Current specifications include:

  • 40kg maximum capacity
  • 1g weighing increments
  • 1/3000 F.S stated precision
  • 35cm x 23cm weighing platform
  • Separate displays for weight, unit price and total price
  • Memory for up to 8 unit prices
  • 99 accumulation memory
  • Tare and zero indicators
  • Rechargeable battery or AC operation

The current 40kg model states up to approximately 140 hours of continuous battery operation per charge under the stated conditions.

150kg Digital Platform Scales

The current 150kg electronic platform scale is designed for larger cartons, produce, stock and other suitable loads.

It has a 50cm x 40cm stainless steel weighing platform, 20g increments and a stated precision of 1/3000 F.S.

Additional functions include unit-price storage, accumulation memory, backlit LCD displays, tare, zero and automatic zero tracking.

300kg Digital Platform Scales

The current 300kg model provides the highest maximum capacity in the range.

Like the 150kg version, it uses a 50cm x 40cm stainless steel platform and provides weight, unit-price and total-price displays. Its larger capacity uses 50g weighing increments.

This makes it more suitable for heavier loads where a 40kg or 150kg maximum capacity would not be sufficient, provided the required measurement increment is also appropriate.


Choosing Between 40kg, 150kg and 300kg Scales

40kg Scales

A 40kg scale may suit smaller products, components, parcels and stock where more detailed 1g increments are useful.

The compact platform and long rechargeable-battery operating time can also suit movable workstations, market setups and packing benches where the specifications are appropriate.

150kg Platform Scales

The 150kg model provides a much larger weighing surface and higher capacity while retaining 20g increments.

It may suit cartons, produce, warehouse stock and other larger items that would exceed the capacity or platform size of the compact 40kg scales.

300kg Platform Scales

The 300kg model is designed for the heaviest loads in the current range and uses 50g increments.

If you do not need a 300kg capacity, compare the 150kg model as well because its smaller 20g increment provides finer measurement within its lower maximum capacity.


Understanding Capacity and Weighing Increments

Maximum capacity and measurement increment describe different aspects of a scale.

Capacity is the maximum stated load the scale is designed to weigh. Increment is the smallest step displayed by the scale.

The current Vartiss Store range provides:

  • 40kg capacity with 1g increments
  • 150kg capacity with 20g increments
  • 300kg capacity with 50g increments

This means the highest-capacity model is not automatically the best choice for every task. If smaller weight differences matter, a lower-capacity scale with a finer increment may be more appropriate.

Never exceed the stated maximum capacity of the individual scale.


Digital Scales for Packing and Dispatch

Current digital scales may be useful in suitable packing, warehouse and dispatch environments for checking the weight of parcels, cartons and stock.

Before choosing a scale for packing:

  • Check the maximum parcel weight you expect to handle.
  • Compare the parcel footprint with the weighing platform.
  • Make sure larger cartons can sit securely without creating an unstable load.
  • Choose an increment appropriate to the level of detail required.
  • Allow sufficient workspace around larger platform scales.
  • Keep the display positioned where it can be read clearly.

If parcel weight will be used to calculate carrier charges, check any accuracy or calibration requirements relevant to your business process.


Counting, Pricing and Accumulation Functions

The current scales provide additional business functions beyond basic weighing.

Unit Price Displays

Current models display weight, unit price and total price in separate display windows. This can help with suitable pricing or stock-handling tasks.

Unit Price Memory

The current 40kg models can store up to 8 unit prices. The 150kg and 300kg platform scales currently provide storage for up to 7 unit prices.

Accumulation Memory

The current 40kg models provide a 99 accumulation memory, while the larger platform scales provide a 7-item accumulation function.

These functions can assist with repetitive weighing tasks, but they do not by themselves confirm that the scale is legally approved for retail trade.


Rechargeable Battery and AC Operation

All current models provide rechargeable-battery operation together with an AC power option.

The current 40kg scale states:

  • 4V 4Ah rechargeable battery
  • Approximately 2-hour charging time
  • Up to 140 hours of continuous use per charge under stated conditions

The current 150kg and 300kg models state up to approximately 40 hours of continuous rechargeable-battery operation.

Actual battery duration can vary with battery condition, charging history, operating environment and use of display functions.


Platform Size and Workspace Planning

The physical size of the load matters as much as its weight.

Current platform sizes are:

  • 40kg models: approximately 35cm x 23cm
  • 150kg platform scale: approximately 50cm x 40cm
  • 300kg platform scale: approximately 50cm x 40cm

The larger platform models have an overall size of approximately 50cm x 40cm x 80cm, including their raised display arrangement.

Choose a level and stable location and make sure the load can be placed on the platform without creating an unstable or unsafe overhang.


Trade and Legal Use of Scales

A scale being able to display weight and price does not automatically mean it is approved for every commercial or legal-for-trade application.

If measurements will determine the price charged to customers or will be used for another regulated purpose, check the applicable Australian requirements before relying on the scale for that use.

Current Vartiss Store product pages note that scales used for trade or legal purposes may require calibration to meet local requirements.

Do not assume that calibration, certification, verification or legal-for-trade approval is included unless the individual product specifically states this.


Positioning and Safe Use

For consistent weighing and safer operation:

  • Place the scale on a firm and level surface.
  • Do not exceed the stated maximum capacity.
  • Centre loads on the weighing platform where practical.
  • Avoid unstable loads that could fall from the platform.
  • Keep the weighing surface reasonably clean.
  • Protect electrical connections from water and excessive moisture.
  • Allow the display to be viewed without creating a trip or access hazard.
  • Do not use damaged power cables or electrical components.
  • Follow the stated operating temperature and humidity limits where provided.
  • Use the tare and zero functions according to the individual instructions.

For the larger 150kg and 300kg scales, make sure there is sufficient room to position heavier items safely on the platform.


Cleaning and Maintenance

Routine care can help maintain reliable operation.

  • Remove loose dirt and debris from the weighing platform.
  • Wipe surfaces using cleaning methods suitable for the material.
  • Keep display windows clean and readable.
  • Avoid allowing liquids to enter electrical components.
  • Do not use excessive water when cleaning the scale.
  • Recharge the battery according to the supplied instructions.
  • Check the power cable for damage before use.
  • Avoid dropping or heavily impacting the weighing platform.
  • Store the scale within the stated environmental conditions where applicable.

The current models specify oil-resistant or water-resistant keyboard features, but this should not be interpreted as making the complete electrical scale waterproof.
