Business Source 440lb Heavy Duty Digital Shipping Scale W/C Green Metal

Heavy-duty 440 lb shipping scale

The Business Source digital scale weighs parcels up to 440 lb with a 0.05 lb graduation, making it suitable for mailrooms, warehouses and small-business shipping desks. A die-cast metal platform measures 11.8 by 11 inches and supports boxes or bulky items without flexing. The extended control board keeps the display readable when oversized cartons cover the platform.

Practical limits of the weighing platform

Maximum capacity is 440 lb and the minimum readable weight is 1 lb, so very light envelopes may not register. Graduation of 0.05 lb means the display rounds to the nearest five-hundredth of a pound, which is adequate for postal rate calculation but not for laboratory precision. The platform height is 1.1 inches, allowing a low step-on for floor use. The coiled cable stretches to 31 inches, limiting how far the display can be mounted from the base.

Installation and common issues

No assembly is required; the scale ships calibrated and ready to use with four AAA batteries and a 9 V AC adapter included. A wall-mount bracket lets the display hang at eye level, but the 31-inch cable restricts placement to nearby walls. Users occasionally forget to remove shipping screws or to place the scale on a perfectly flat surface, which can cause reading drift. The auto shut-off saves battery life but may interrupt continuous weighing sessions if not disabled.
