KERN & SOHN HCB 0.5T-3 HCB Crane Scale, 500 kg Capacity, 1 kg Readability

KERN & SOHN HCB 0.5T-3 Crane Scale — 500 kg capacity, 1 kg readability

Accuracy-first engineering makes the KERN & SOHN HCB 0.5T-3 Crane Scale a trusted crane scale in facilities that weigh to 500 kg at 1 kg every day. A compact 82×43×153 mm housing houses the display and electronics while the strain-gauge load cell handles suspended loads with a peak-hold function that captures maximum weight during swinging or dynamic lifting.

Key Features

• High-capacity performance: Rated to 500 kg with 1 kg readability, the KERN & SOHN HCB 0.5T-3 Crane Scale delivers consistent results across its full weighing range.
• Rapid 2 s stabilization: A 2 s reading stabilization keeps cycle times short on busy production benches and dispatch counters, reducing wait time and lifting overall throughput on the KERN & SOHN HCB 0.5T-3 Crane Scale.
• Peak-hold function: The peak-hold mode captures and freezes the highest load value recorded during a lift, making it straightforward to read maximum weight even when the suspended load is still swinging or oscillating on the KERN & SOHN HCB 0.5T-3 Crane Scale.
• Dual power supply (mains and rechargeable battery): The KERN & SOHN HCB 0.5T-3 Crane Scale operates on either a plug-in AC adapter or its built-in rechargeable battery, making it equally suitable for fixed bench use and mobile weighing stations.
• Multi-unit display (kg, lb, N): Selectable weighing units — kg, lb, and N — let the KERN & SOHN HCB 0.5T-3 Crane Scale match the notation used on work orders, shipping documents, or engineering specifications without manual conversion.

Detailed Overview

The KERN & SOHN HCB 0.5T-3 Crane Scale is built around a single strain-gauge load cell in an aluminium housing measuring 82×43×153 mm (W×D×H), designed to hang from overhead crane hooks or lifting equipment. Rated to 500 kg with 1 kg readability and ±± 2 kg linearity, the scale provides credible results even during dynamic lifting scenarios where loads swing or oscillate. The peak-hold function captures the maximum load reading so operators can note the highest weight without waiting for the load to settle completely. Multi-unit operation covers kg, lb, and N for compatibility with a variety of documentation formats. Three 1.5 V AA batteries power the KERN & SOHN HCB 0.5T-3 Crane Scale for approximately 300 h hours of operation without mains cabling at the lift point.

Applications

• Overhead crane weighing in warehouses and manufacturing plants
• Freight and cargo weighing at ports and logistics terminals
• Scrap metal and recycling yard batch measurement
• Construction and mining site material handling
• Forestry and agriculture for bale, log, and livestock weighing
