Pallet scales are large floor scales used to weigh items loaded on standard pallets. These scales indicate the weight of the entire object being weighed, including parts of the item that hang over the edge of the scale. Ramps for use with a forklift can be added to pallet scales.

Counting floor scales are large, flat scales with a remote display that can be viewed when the scale is covered by large objects such as a group of boxes or paint cans.
