Rugged steel with tread plate surface protects animals and handlers from accidental slips and falls. Adjustable foot pads allow scale to work effectively on uneven floors. The PS-1000 is capable of withstanding 150% capacity of weight without damaging the scale and still has no installation costs or parts that require maintenance. Just place the scale on a hard surface and level by adjusting the foot pads. Connect the indicator and turn on the power.
