There are many kinds of platform scales in use today. Most people are familiar with digital weighing devices that are used to keep track of their own weight. But when it comes to weighing stuff that is much larger than a person or a bit more awkward, a large platform is sometimes called for. You will find these larger devices being used in the vet's office to weigh varying sizes of animals. From medium sized dogs to large horses, it's necessary to keep track of how much pets and livestock weigh. Knowing the weight of an animal can help the vet determine how much medicine to give. Smaller scales are used in zoos to determine the amount of food to be given to the bigger animals. The laundry industry also uses large platforms to weigh huge loads sheets, towels, and other linens. In order to determine how much to put into the washer, they need to know how much each load weighs. Many places also charge by the pound, so it's important that everything be weighed accurately. The Post Office also uses weighing machines like this, although they are much smaller. The size of the scale you will need depends on the size of the objects you wish to weigh. Small items can be easily weighed on a small scale. It may also be possible to weigh small things on large scales, but it would be a waste of money and space, if small things are all that you need to measure. You may also want to consider getting one that is made to withstand moisture and dust. If you're going to be out and about, traveling around, you will probably want to have something that is battery operated and portable. There are many shapes and sizes to choose from. There are also various features for you to choose from. It all depends on what you're going to be weighing.
