Laundry Scales, Digital & Dial Scales, Clothing Weight Scales

What is a Laundry Scale?

The laundry scales offered by Rehabmart are basket laundry scales that can weigh wet or dry laundry. These scales come with a specified laundry basket to hold the clothes, sheets, tablecloths, uniforms, and more, while being weighted. Laundry scales come with either an analog or digital readout that shows the laundry weight.

The digital scales have weight capacities between 30 to over 100 pounds, and offer more detailed weight readouts. Digital scales are primarily designed for the commercial trade of charging customers for laundry service. Inclusive of an A/C adapter and often a rechargeable battery, a digital scale can provide multiple price readouts at the same time thereby allowing for a quicker and more precise weight reading.

An analog laundry scale is a mechanical dial scale with usually a 40 pound weight capacity. An analog scale is often used by a non-trade business, such as restaurants or medical facilities. An analog scale does not run on electricity so it does not require power to operate it, and since it doesn’t need an electrical outlet, this type of scale can be placed anywhere without the fear of water-electricity accidents or a specific placement near a power source.

Some laundry scales are placed on the table top where an employee will have to transport the wet or dry laundry to the basket scale for the laundry to be weighed. Other laundry basket scales are mobile with a wheeled base and an attachable large tub. The mobile scale can be wheeled next to a commercial size washing machine and have the laundry weighed immediately. This is usually an ideal application to measure staff productivity in the laundry services departments of medical facilities, hotels, or large restaurants.

Where Are Laundry Scales Used?

Tons of laundry is cleaned on a daily basis in many commercial businesses throughout the country. Thousands of hotels and motels launder towels, linens, and other articles on a daily basis, universities and college dorms may need to provide laundry facilities for their students, and many industrial firms that need protective clothing and uniforms have a daily need of laundering. The military requires a massive amount of laundry cleaned, as well as large restaurants that may have their own laundry facility to clean the tablecloths, napkins and other articles. Hospitals and nursing homes also have a huge amount of daily cleaning of bed sheets, blankets, pillows and uniforms to be laundered.

Rehabmart is pleased to offer superior quality laundry scales from the esteemed R & B Wire Company.
