The Escali HC255W is a high-capacity scale with a slip resistant etched tempered glass surface. With a staggering 562-pound capacity, there isn’t much this scale cannot handle. In addition to the slip resistant etched glass platform for better footing, the scale is larger in size and heavier when compared to a traditional scale offering a more stable platform with less chance of tipping. The extra-large backlit display is bright and easy to read with large visible numbers that are easy to see in even the dimmest room. Even with the backlit display, there is no need to worry about batteries being drained as the scale will automatically shut off after 10 seconds. The scale also boasts instant-on technology meaning that you can step on the scale at any time and weigh yourself. There is no need to wake the scale up by tapping it with your foot. Once the weight has been confirmed the display will flash three times and in the event that the screen is not visible, the scale also produces an audible beep letting you know that the weight is confirmed and that you can step off of the scale. The hold feature will keep the weight on screen for 10 seconds giving ample viewing time if needed after stepping off of the scale. With a 562 lb capacity and heavy-duty construction, the HC255W is a workhorse and the perfect choice for those needing a robust and durable scale.
