Scales

Wedderburn has been manufacturing and supplying weighing scales since 1896. Their equipment is incredibly diverse, with capabilities to weigh anything from as light as 0.01 milligrams all the way up to 250 tons.

Because they cater to so many different industries, their scales generally fall into these main categories:

• Retail & Supermarket Scales: Designed for butchers, greengrocers, seafood shops, and supermarkets. This lineup includes price-computing scales, self-service bulk weighing scales, and fully integrated machines that automatically weigh, wrap, price, and label produce. Many of these are National Measurement Institute (NMI) approved, meaning they are legally certified for trade use in Australia.

• Health, Medical & Fitness Scales: Wedderburn supplies a vast range of medical-grade scales, many of which are registered with the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods (ARTG). The range includes baby scales, Tanita body composition analysers (which measure body fat, bone density, and muscle mass), and height-measuring stadiometers. For hospitals and aged care, they offer heavy-duty wheelchair and chair scales that allow patients with limited mobility to be weighed safely while seated.

• Industrial & Manufacturing Scales: Built for tough environments, these include heavy-duty floor and platform scales, hanging scales, and crane scales for safe overhead lifting. They also supply counting scales—which are perfect for doing inventory on small, uniform items like screws or coins—and stainless steel, water-resistant scales designed specifically for wet wash-down environments.

• Laboratory & High-Precision Scales: For specialized testing or pharmaceutical use, they offer high-precision laboratory balances and portable mini scales capable of highly accurate weighing down to micro-increments.
