Omcan 22 lb Hanging Dial Scale

The dial reads up to 22 lb in 1-ounce graduations, which is precise enough for portioning produce, meats, and dry goods at receiving. The pan suspension lets the scale stay still while items are loaded.

Hang it on a sturdy wall bracket or overhead beam above the prep counter, ideally near the produce washing sink. Make sure the bracket can support up to 30 lb to account for both the scale and the heaviest load.

Yes, zero the dial with the empty pan or hook attached before each shift. Bumps and humidity can shift the zero point by a few ounces, and uncalibrated readings throw off recipes and food cost.

Avoid overloading past 22 lb even briefly, keep the dial face free of moisture, and never drop weight onto the pan from a height. Each of these stretches the spring inside and permanently shifts accuracy.

No, sale-by-weight in Canada requires a Measurement Canada-approved scale, which a dial-only mechanical unit typically does not cover. Use this for back-of-house portioning and recipe work, not for customer-facing transactions.

Bakeries portioning flour and dough, butchers checking trim yields, and back-of-house cooks measuring batch ingredients for soups and sauces. Pair with the broader smallwares selection to round out the prep station.

Indoors only, since humidity and water damage the dial mechanism. Browse the kitchen equipment catalogue for digital alternatives if the workspace is wet or refrigerated.
