330lb weight scale

So, I have decided that come this weekend, I am going to buy this weight scale Amazon.com: 330 Lb Digital Shipping Scale WeighMax: Office Products

This way I can keep a good track of how much wire, copper, brass, escrap, etc I keep saving up, and can better decide when I want to turn it all in.

Plus, if I ever do get into buying escrap, then I definitely can't go wrong with it, and I can accurately weight product on side.

Good to see u evolving.....I have two scales now one weighs up to 450lbs and still portable enough to carry in the truck.........U will be suprised how much u will use it and I've had skeptics change their mind when I show up on site with my own scales

Why, most quantity goes in lbs and ounces, I just bought a bag of processors and weighted it that way,,

Well the 330lb scale is the biggest (as far as weight goes) that I saw when browsing really quick. They might have a bigger one.

I am definitely going with one that weights over 100lbs so I dont have to worry about breaking it on accident.

Like I told my wife, my yards treat me good, and never have cheated me, but never know when that might change too. This way, if I know I am going in with 300lbs of copper, I know how much $$$ to expect. The same when shipping escrap, wire, brass, aluminum, you name it.

Plus like I said, if I turn to buying escrap, then I want/need something portable enough to carry in my truck.

My 5,000 pound trade legal floor scale arrived yesterday so I can finally stop weighing bins as I fill gaylords.

Well most of the scales I looked at, did have a oz measure to it as well. I just realized that the one I posted the link for, didn't mention that. So I will look again, but even still, most places only go by pounds anyways.

I saw one at my local Sam's Club that looked like that one and they had a couple more in stock. I would go look at them so you know what you are getting. By they way they looked good to me and would get one but I already have a doctor's type scale. Mike.

off topic: did you get a msg from me in the last few days, george(questionmark)

yes I got it. I replied. if you didn't get it, email me directly at georgebeale@viprecycling.com and I will reply again.


thanks. I'm sure it will pay for itself in no time. also the 330lb one is only $20 more than most of the others so that isnt to bad.

This one is good for 660 lbs for just a few dollars more.
