Product Description
The Brecknell ElectroSamson is a portable digital hanging scale designed for straightforward, accurate weighing across a range of commercial and operational tasks. It replaces the traditional spring-loaded hanging balance with a digital readout, giving a more reliable and repeatable result without any additional complexity.
In a working kitchen or food preparation environment, the scale is commonly used for weighing poultry, fish, and other proteins where a bench scale is impractical or where product arrives suspended. The digital display removes the ambiguity of a dial reading, which matters when staff are working quickly and accuracy affects portion cost.
Practical benefits include:
- Large LCD display that is easy to read in low-light or busy prep areas
- Hold function locks the reading when the product is still swinging — useful for accurate capture without waiting
- Memory tare function allows the weight of hooks or packaging to be subtracted cleanly
- Compact and lightweight with a supplied carry pouch, making it easy to store or move between areas
- ABS plastic construction keeps the unit light without being fragile for everyday use
There are no installation requirements — the scale is battery-operated and entirely portable. It is worth confirming that the fixing point or hook used to suspend the scale during weighing is rated appropriately for the loads being measured. This is not a trade-approved scale for retail sale by weight, so operators needing verified weighing for customer transactions should check the relevant legal requirements separately.
This scale is well suited to smaller catering operations, food prep kitchens, butchery or fishmonger environments, and back-of-house stock management where a quick, portable weight check is needed. It is not intended for high-throughput production weighing where a fixed bench or platform scale would be more appropriate.
If you are unsure whether this capacity suits your typical loads, or whether a different type of scale would serve your operation better, the team is happy to help you work through the options.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Yes, this is one of the more common uses for a hanging scale in a catering environment. The 25kg capacity comfortably covers most whole birds and fish. The hold function is particularly useful here, as it locks the reading while the product is still moving — which is typical when weighing suspended loads.
- No. This scale is not trade-approved under UK weights and measures legislation, so it is not suitable for retail transactions where the price is determined by the weight displayed. It is intended for back-of-house portioning, stock checks, and general operational weighing rather than point-of-sale use.
- The main practical consideration is the suspension point — whatever the scale hangs from during use should be stable and rated to handle the load. Beyond that, the scale is entirely self-contained and battery-operated, so there are no electrical or installation requirements. For high-volume or continuous production weighing, a fixed bench or platform scale may offer a more efficient workflow.
