OHAUS CR5200 Compass CR Portable Balance, 5200g Capacity, 1g Readability, Stackable Slim Design

OHAUS CR5200 Portable Balance — 5200g Large-Capacity Battery Portable with Stackable Design

Field and industrial operations that deal with larger sample masses need portability without sacrificing capacity. The OHAUS CR5200 Compass CR Portable Balance delivers 5,200g at 1g readability in the same slim, stackable housing shared by its smaller-capacity siblings—running up to 300 hours on three AA batteries. For deployments where multi-kilogram samples must be weighed far from an AC outlet, the CR5200 provides the range to get the job done.

Key Features

• 5,200g Maximum Capacity: The highest capacity in the Compass CR portable series, supporting multi-kilogram field samples, bulk materials, and heavy packaged goods.
• 300-Hour Battery Life: Three AA batteries sustain the CR5200 through extended field campaigns or high-volume production sessions without recharging.
• Slim Stackable Design: Identical form factor to other CR models means storage trays and transport cases designed for the series accommodate the CR5200 without modification.
• 132 mm × 125 mm Enlarged Platform: The generously sized pan supports wide-base containers and bulk material bags typical of 5kg-class weighing tasks.
• Transportation Lock: Protects the weighing mechanism against the vibration and impact loads inherent in vehicle transport to remote sites.
• LCD Display: Clean, readable readout in gram, ounce, pound, troy ounce, and pennyweight units—covering the units most common in trade and field science.
• Tare to Full Capacity: Allows any container weight to be zeroed across the full 5,200g range, enabling net weighing of large-bulk field samples.

Detailed Overview

The OHAUS CR5200 Compass CR Portable Balance fills the niche of large-load portable weighing where alternatives are either too heavy (laboratory bench balances), too imprecise (industrial floor scales), or too fragile (precision instruments without transport locks). Its ABS housing keeps the unit weight low—just 0.4kg—despite its 5.2kg weighing capacity. The 2-second stabilization time means rapid measurement turnover even during high-sample-count field surveys. Like all CR-series models, the CR5200 operates identically whether powered by batteries or an optional AC adapter, eliminating the need to learn a different operating mode for bench-based calibration checks or classroom demonstrations.

Applications

• Field geology and soil science sample collection and characterization
• Agriculture and agronomy crop sample weighing in the field
• Portable industrial receiving and shipping inspection
• Educational institutions with large-sample lab practicals
• Trade and market weighing of bulk goods without fixed infrastructure

Why Choose the OHAUS CR5200?

Large-capacity portable weighing demands a balance that won't break under 5kg loads or run out of power before the day's work is done. The OHAUS CR5200 Compass CR Portable Balance answers both concerns with a 5,200g capacity and 300-hour battery runtime in a 0.4kg housing. Order today and bring reliable gram-level precision to your highest-capacity portable weighing tasks.
