Product Description
The Brecknell ElectroSamson is a battery-powered digital hanging scale designed to replace the traditional spring-loaded balance with a cleaner, more repeatable digital readout. It is a straightforward, portable weighing tool with no fixed installation requirements, built for everyday use in food preparation and back-of-house environments.
In a working kitchen, it is most commonly used for weighing poultry, fish, and larger protein cuts where a bench scale is impractical or where product arrives on a hook. The digital display removes the guesswork of reading a dial under pressure, which matters when staff are working quickly and portion accuracy has a direct effect on food cost.
Practical benefits for kitchen operators include:
- Large LCD display that is easy to read in dim or busy prep conditions
- Hold function captures the reading while the load is still swinging, avoiding the need to wait for the product to settle
- Memory tare function subtracts the weight of hooks or wrapping cleanly, giving a true net weight
- Compact ABS construction with a carry pouch, making it straightforward to store or move between prep areas
- No installation required — operates on batteries and is ready to use immediately
There are no electrical or plumbing requirements. It is worth confirming that whatever fixing point or hook is used to suspend the scale is rated for the intended load. This unit is not trade-approved for retail sale by weight, so operators who need verified weighing for customer-facing transactions should check the applicable legal requirements before relying on it for that purpose.
This scale is well suited to smaller catering operations, butchery and fishmonger environments, food prep kitchens, and back-of-house stock checks where a quick, portable weight is sufficient. For higher-throughput production environments or where a fixed, hands-free weighing solution is needed, a bench or platform scale would generally be more appropriate.
If you are weighing loads close to the upper capacity or are unsure whether this type of scale fits your operation, the team is happy to talk it through with you.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Yes, it is well suited to that kind of use. The hold function is particularly useful here, as it locks the reading while the load is still swinging, which avoids the need to wait for a suspended bird or fillet to settle completely before you can take a reading.
- No. This unit is not trade-approved for use in retail transactions where goods are sold by weight. Operators who need verified weighing for customer-facing sales should check the requirements under UK weights and measures legislation and use an approved scale for that purpose.
- It is best suited to occasional or moderate weighing tasks in prep or back-of-house environments. For high-throughput production settings where speed, fixed mounting, or integration with portion control systems is important, a bench or platform scale would generally be a more practical choice.
