The HSCo loose-weight platform scale is a traditional mechanical beam scale: goods go on the low platform, and the weight is read by balancing the beam on the pillar with the sliding poise and loose counterweights. Built in cast iron and steel plate on wheels, it needs no electricity and keeps working in damp, rough places, which is why it has long been used at railway goods sheds, metal yards and fishing harbours.
