I find myself shipping quite a few items via freight, or estimating

precise weights.

What do you think about this one?

This looks nice to me (sold as new and certified for trade),
with only one question -- what is the maximum overweight load which can
be put on it without damage? If you could download a manual to give
that information, I would consider it a plus. The readout will go to at
least 10,000 lbs, and there seems to be an "over" indicator, as well as
the ability to set a "tare" to tell you how much it is without the
pallet which the load is on. (But you would be shipping with the
pallet, so you probably don't need that.)

I will get a 10,000 lbs scale, same price as the 5,000 lbs
scale and a little more flexibility with what I can put on it.

I did talk to those guys a couple of days ago, and they seem to be
pretty good.

You might try calling the phone number "(800)230-0120" on the
front panel of the readout module to see what you can find out about it.

Enjoy,
