Product Description
The Brecknell WS60 is a straightforward bench scale designed for portioning and weighing tasks in commercial food preparation environments. Built with a stainless steel platform, it handles loads up to 60kg and displays readings in either metric or imperial units, with a separate screen that can be positioned for clear visibility regardless of where the platform sits on the workbench.
In day-to-day kitchen use, this type of scale is typically found at prep stations where consistent portion control matters — butchery, bakery prep, bulk ingredient weighing, and similar tasks where accuracy and repeatability reduce waste and keep food costs in check. The stainless steel construction holds up well in wet and busy prep areas and is straightforward to wipe down between uses.
- Metric and imperial display supports both recipe formats and supplier deliveries
- Mains or battery operation gives flexibility for different workbench positions
- Auto-off function helps extend battery life during quieter periods
- Rubber feet keep the unit stable on smooth stainless or tiled prep surfaces
- Separate display screen allows easier reading when platform is loaded
At 60kg capacity, this scale suits most standard portioning and prep weighing tasks. It is not intended for goods-in bulk weighing of very heavy loads — kitchens with a regular need to weigh above this range would be better served by a heavier-duty platform scale. The unit's compact footprint keeps bench space impact to a minimum.
This scale is well suited to small and medium kitchens, contract caterers, and prep areas where a reliable, no-fuss weighing solution is needed. If you are unsure whether this capacity fits your operation, or if you need scales with a specific IP rating for particularly wet environments, we are happy to help you select the right option.

Frequently Asked Questions
- For the majority of portioning and prep work — including meat, dough, and dry goods — 60kg is adequate. Where you regularly need to weigh large bulk deliveries or heavy carcasses in one go, a higher-capacity platform scale would be a more appropriate choice.
- The stainless steel platform is suited to general prep environments and wipes down easily, but this unit is not rated for direct wash-down or immersion. If your weighing area is subject to heavy water exposure, it is worth discussing a model with a higher IP rating before purchasing.
- It does, particularly when weighing bulkier items that would otherwise obscure an integrated display. The separate screen can be positioned at eye level or to one side, which helps with speed and reduces the risk of misreading under pressure during a busy service prep.
