KERN & SOHN HDB 10K-2XL HDB Crane Scale, 15 kg Capacity, 0.01 kg Readability, IP65 Rated

KERN & SOHN HDB 10K-2XL Crane Scale — 15 kg Capacity, 0.01 kg Readability, IP65

At 15 kg capacity and 0.01 kg readability, IP65 rated, the KERN & SOHN HDB 10K-2XL Crane Scale covers a broad range of overhead weighing tasks without sacrificing precision. The KERN & SOHN HDB 10K-2XL Crane Scale offers peak-hold capture, IP65 environmental protection, making it well suited to demanding industrial and commercial applications.

Key Features

• 15 kg capacity at 0.01 kg readability: A single strain-gauge load cell delivers repeatable readings within ±0.03 kg across the full weighing range.
• IP65 load cell: The internal weighing element is sealed to IP65, protecting it from dust and moisture even in unprotected environments.
• Peak capture: The peak function records the highest load reached during a dynamic lift, useful for calculating shock loads and confirming safe working limits on lifting equipment.
• 100 h battery life: A 2×1.5 V AAA alkaline battery pack runs the scale for approximately 100 h, reducing the interruption of charging stops during extended weighing sessions.
• Clear LCD display: A high-contrast LCD shows weight, tare and function status at a glance, enabling quick operator checks between lifts without stopping workflow.
• 5 Hz measuring frequency: A 5 Hz internal sampling rate captures weight changes quickly, maintaining accuracy on items that settle slowly or swing during lifting.

Detailed Overview

The KERN & SOHN HDB 10K-2XL Crane Scale is built around a single strain-gauge load cell in aluminium with a plastic display housing, housed in a compact 101×25×107 mm body. With 15 kg capacity, 0.01 kg readability and linearity within ±0.03 kg, the scale meets the demands of overhead weighing in manufacturing and logistics. Environmental protection to IP65 makes the KERN & SOHN HDB 10K-2XL Crane Scale resistant to dust and water, allowing deployment in food-processing plants, wash-down areas and outdoor crane operations. Battery operation with approximately 100 h on a single set of 2×1.5 V AAA cells keeps the KERN & SOHN HDB 10K-2XL independent from fixed power infrastructure during field operations, and 2-second stabilization keeps cycle time short. Calibration is carried out against an external reference weight, maintaining traceability to recognised standards.

Applications

• Overhead load measurement on crane hooks, hoists and gantry systems in manufacturing plants
• Freight and cargo weighing on loading docks and in warehouses
• Livestock and animal weighing in agricultural and veterinary settings
• Rigging and lifting safety checks on construction and civil engineering sites
• Wash-down and food-processing environments where ingress-protected equipment is required
