The Rice Lake RL1200 Mechanical Portable Beam Scale is a rugged, all-mechanical scale built for facilities that need dependable weighing without any reliance on electricity, making it a natural fit for intrinsically safe applications and remote job sites with no power access. The cast-iron design features a 24" x 18" platform mounted on heavy-duty wheels for one-person portability, though the wheels themselves are not rated for IS use. Weight is read directly off a nickel-plated steel beam with an engraved brass insert, working alongside slotted cast-iron counterpoise weights that are clearly marked to scale capacity, while a steel locking screw on the poise locks the reading securely in place once the beam is balanced. The scale ships complete with its weights and hanger, so it is ready to weigh right out of the crate. Available in either a metric or avoirdupois (lb) version, the 1,000 lb avoirdupois model is calibrated in 0.5 lb divisions and carries NTEP Class III certification, making it legal for trade in agriculture, warehousing, and general industrial weighing applications. Backed by a one-year limited warranty, the RL1200 delivers the kind of time-tested, low-maintenance reliability that has made beam scales a shop-floor staple for generations.
