Commonly Asked Questions About Angle Frame Scale Stands
Commercial scales are a common staple in kitchen environments. They are crucial for precisely weighing food/ingredients so you can maintain constant serving sizes to control costs. They are also useful for notifying how much to charge a customer when selling items by weight. The benefits are clear, which makes scales a must in every kit.
However, many commercial scales can be bulky & hard to maneuver. This is where angle frame scale stands really shine.
In this article, we’ll give 4 of the most common questions asked about angle frame scale stands & present you our answers. Let’s jump right in with question #1.
1. Do I Really Need One?
Let’s approach this question in two ways:
1. If your business relies on weighing ingredients (such as delis or bakeries), an angle frame scale stand will be a vital component in accommodating your heavy duty scales. Angle frame scale stands have the job of making increasing your productivity ultimately.
2. If you have a large scale business that requires transportation of your scale, an angle frame scale stand is pretty much a necessity. Most large commercial scales do not come equipped with casters or a reliable form of transportation so you’ll need a stable base to set them atop.
