HANGING SCALES
FOR FARMERS MARKETS
Portable produce
scales are a must for use at the farmers market. That is why battery
operated produce scales are pretty much the standard choice at most
places but if you look real close you might actually still see some
legal for trade hanging scales still being used by sellers at the
farmers market. Most of these are made by Chatillon and feature either
a CAS pan or Scoop. The capacity is usually either 20 pounds or 40
pounds. The advantage of these types of scales is they are pretty
reliable and they don't require electricity or batteries.
We are asked from
time to time if we have any used hanging produce scales for sale but
most of the time the answer is no. For mechanical hanging scales we
only offer one version that is NTEP approved with CoC# and that is
the Chatillon version. For digital scales we offer many of the top
brands of scales in the country. Names like Ohaus, Brecknell, CAS,
Rice Lake, and Detecto. Garden produce scales are an easy way for
you to grow some vegetables and take them to the produce stand and
sell them for some extra money that goes into your pocket. Remember,
be sure to buy certified produce scales that are NTEP approved legal
for trade for class 3. We don't recommend looking at cheap produce
scales since in most cases they aren't legal for trade.
Old produce scales
for sale can save you some money but usually come with no warranty.
Mechanical produce scales can save you some money and you don't have
to worry about batteries or finding an outlet to plug your scale into.
Plus you don't have to worry about charging your scale battery the
night before you go out to the farmers market.
Hanging produce
scales for sale can really be a great thing for many customers. While
others really like to be able to key in the price per pound and set
the vegetables on the scale and it calculates the total charges. Every
now and then you might see used hanging produce scales for sale but
the odds are you will have to buy a brand new set, which isn't that
bad. At least you will get a warranty that is still active.
