Description

MNM Scales Optima 300 lb Dog Scale: 300 lb x 0.1 lb on a 20″ x 43″ Mild Steel Platform

The MNM Scales Optima LP7628B-2043-300 is a 300 lb dog scale and general floor scale with fine 0.1 lb readability, built on a low 20″ x 43″ mild steel platform. It is made for dogs, cats in carriers, puppies and litters, and any load up to 300 lb where a tenth of a pound matters. The LCD indicator’s HOLD function locks the weight while a pet or a person fidgets, so you get a steady reading without a second person.

Need more capacity for goats, pigs or calves? See the 660 lb MNM Scales Optima OP-922 on the same 20″ x 43″ platform.

Calibration and Service

Frequently Asked Questions

How precise is this dog scale?

It reads in 0.1 lb steps up to 300 lb, fine enough to track small changes in a puppy, a cat in its carrier or a dog on a diet.

How do I weigh a dog that will not sit still?

Let the dog step onto the platform and press HOLD. The indicator locks the weight even while the dog moves.

How do I weigh a cat or small pet?

Place the empty carrier on the platform, press ZERO to tare it, then put the pet in the carrier and read the net weight.

Can I use it for shipping, kegs or feed sacks?

Yes, up to 300 lb. Set boxes, kegs, pails or sacks straight on the 20″ x 43″ deck; press ZERO with an empty container on the scale to read only the contents. It is not sized for pallets.

Can hunters and gyms use it?

Yes, for game and athlete weigh-ins up to 300 lb. Official competition weigh-ins may require a certified legal-for-trade scale.

What is the difference between this and the 660 lb model?

Both use the same 20″ x 43″ mild steel platform. This 300 lb model reads in 0.1 lb steps; the 660 lb OP-922 reads in 0.2 lb steps and suits goats, sheep, pigs, calves and heavier loads.

Is it legal for trade?

No. It is not NTEP approved and is intended for animal care, shipping estimates, records and general weighing, not for selling by weight.

Can I get it calibrated or buy several?

Yes. Ask for a quote or call (832) 290-3120 for calibration certificates or quantity pricing.
