Essae DS-350 Crane Scale: Heavy-Duty Industrial Weighing That Lifts Your Profits to a New High

In the world of heavy industry, manufacturing, and logistics, the ability to weigh massive loads accurately while they are suspended in the air is not just a convenience—it is a critical operational necessity. From steel plants and scrap yards to shipping ports and warehouses, crane scales are the unsung heroes that enable efficient inventory management, safe load monitoring, and accurate transaction processing. Yet, for too long, businesses have faced a difficult choice: pay a premium for a trusted brand or settle for cheaper, unreliable alternatives. UP Scales, as a trusted authorized reseller of Essae, is proud to present a crane scale that eliminates this compromise: the Essae DS-350 Crane Scale.

The DS-350 is the latest innovation from Essae-Teraoka, a name synonymous with quality and precision in the Indian weighing industry. Engineered under the Make in India initiative, this digital crane scale combines advanced microcomputer technology with rugged, industrial-grade load cell sensors. Available in 1 Ton, 3 Ton, and 5 Ton capacities, it delivers class III certified accuracy, robust construction, and an exceptional battery life. And here is the best part: Essae has launched this new model at a very competitive, low price point, making premium crane scale technology accessible to businesses of all sizes. If your operations involve lifting and weighing heavy loads, the DS-350 is the powerful, reliable, and affordable solution you have been waiting for.

Why the Essae DS-350 is the Smartest Investment for Heavy-Duty Weighing

The DS-350 is engineered to solve the real-world challenges of heavy industrial environments. It combines the precision you expect from Essae with features designed for efficiency and ease of use. Here is what makes it exceptional:

• Uncompromising Accuracy for Critical Operations: Available in 1 Ton, 3 Ton, and 5 Ton capacities with class III certification, the DS-350 delivers accuracies of 0.5kg, 1kg, and 2kg respectively. This level of precision ensures that every lift is measured correctly, protecting your inventory accuracy and transaction integrity.
• Exceptional Battery Life for Uninterrupted Shifts: The DS-350 is powered by a 7.4V, 5.2Ah rechargeable lithium-ion battery. On a full charge, it delivers an impressive up to 30 hours of operation with the remote display and up to 40 hours without it. This means the scale can easily last through multiple shifts, reducing downtime for recharging and ensuring continuous productivity.
• Rugged Construction for Demanding Environments: Built to withstand the rigors of industrial use, the DS-350 features a rugged aluminium die-cast enclosure, robust hooks, and stainless steel push buttons. The hook sizes and thicknesses are engineered for safety and durability, with top hook thicknesses of 23.5mm for the 1T and 3T models and 25.5mm for the 5T model.
• Wireless Convenience for Enhanced Safety and Efficiency: The DS-350 comes with a remote controller that operates up to 15 meters line of sight, allowing operators to tare, zero, and capture weights from a safe distance. For even greater flexibility, an optional 2.3-inch wireless remote display is available, visible from up to 50 meters away.
• Seamless Integration with Existing Essae Systems: The DS-350 is designed to integrate seamlessly with Essae's popular SI-850 and DC-810/815 weighing systems. This enables unified weighing and data management across your entire operation. Furthermore, a single remote display can be paired with multiple DS-350 units, offering cost-effective scalability for businesses with multiple cranes or lifting points.

Key Features and Benefits

High-Precision Accuracy for Transaction Confidence

The DS-350's class III certification is your guarantee of reliable, repeatable measurements. With accuracies as fine as 0.5kg for the 1-ton model, you can confidently use this scale for commercial transactions, inventory management, and quality control. Every kilogram is accounted for, every time.

Long-Lasting Lithium-Ion Battery

The high-capacity 7.4V lithium-ion battery is a standout feature. It offers enough power to last through the longest shifts, with up to 40 hours of continuous operation. This reduces the need for frequent recharging and ensures your crane scale is always ready when you are. The external battery charger makes replenishing the power simple and convenient.

Bright, Clear LED Display for Easy Reading

The 5-digit, 30mm red LED display is exceptionally bright and easy to read, even in challenging lighting conditions. Whether you are working in a dimly lit warehouse, under bright sunlight, or amidst the glare of a steel plant, the weight reading is always clear. The display also includes stability and battery indicators to keep you informed.

Rugged Aluminium Die-Cast Enclosure

Industrial environments are tough on equipment. The DS-350 is protected by a robust aluminium die-cast enclosure that resists impacts, dust, and general wear and tear. This rugged housing ensures the sensitive internal components remain safe, delivering a long operational life and a strong return on investment.

Wireless Remote Control for Safe Operation

Weighing heavy suspended loads can be dangerous if the operator needs to be near the load to read the weight or operate the scale. The DS-350's remote controller allows you to perform all key functions—tare, zero, and weight capture—from a safe distance of up to 15 meters. This significantly enhances workplace safety.

Optional Wireless Remote Display for Unmatched Visibility

For applications where the crane operator cannot easily see the scale's display, the optional 2.3-inch wireless remote display is a game-changer. It can be placed up to 50 meters away, providing a clear, bright LED readout for the operator, a supervisor, or a recording station. This feature streamlines workflows and improves communication on busy shop floors.

Seamless Integration for Unified Operations

The DS-350 is not an island. It is designed to work with Essae's SI-850 and DC-810/815 weighing systems, allowing you to integrate crane scale data into your broader weighing and data management ecosystem. This connectivity is essential for businesses that need to consolidate weight data from multiple sources for reporting and analysis.

Cost-Effective Scalability

One of the most innovative features of the DS-350 is its ability to pair multiple crane scales with a single remote display. This means you can equip several cranes or lifting points with DS-350 units and monitor them all from one central display, significantly reducing equipment costs and simplifying your monitoring setup.
