Introduction
Thank you for purchasing a crane scale from PCE Instruments.
The crane scale PCE-CS 10000N can weigh up to 10 tons. To do so, the scale comes with a solid
shackle on top and a rotatable safety hook on the bottom side. The 5-digit LED display has a character
height of 30 mm, so that it is easily readable, even from a distance. The crane scale PCE-CS 10000N can
be operated from a distance up to 15 m as well by using the infrared remote control. The internal battery
of the crane scale allows up to 50 hours of operation.
