Abstract
A low profile weigh scale includes a rectangular frame constructed on two opposite sides by U-shaped channel members. A plurality of removable platform members bridge central portions of the frame and are supported on their edges by angle irons on the sides of the channels. While the weigh scale has a relatively large weighing capacity, the frame and platform members can be easily disassembled and manually carried to different locations. In the preferred embodiment, load cells are mounted within the channel members at each corner. Removable covers are provided for the channel members to enable the user to gain easy access to the load cells for leveling purposes and the like.
