Brecknell DS1000: 1000 lb Low-Profile Floor from Cypress

Aug 29

4 min read

A Houston shop that wants to roll drums onto a pad does not need a 48 × 48 10,000 lb deck. It needs a low-profile 31.5 in carton with built-in ramps. The floor scale All Scales USA actually stocks in Cypress is the Brecknell DS1000 — 1000 lb × 0.5 lb / 500 kg × 0.2 kg, $1,229, ten in stock. Live slug: salter-brecknell-ds1000-floor-scale-with-led-display-31-1-2-length-x-31-1-2. This post is that portable drum / receiving floor scale, not the EH-1044 4×4 already posted.

Brecknell DS1000 1000 lb × 0.5 lb low-profile floor scale with LED display and built-in ramps

Caption: Brecknell DS1000 in Cypress — about 31.5 × 31.5 in powder-coated deck, built-in ramps, LED indicator.

What the live page actually prints

Brand Brecknell. Model DS1000. Capacity × readability 1000 lb × 0.5 lb / 500 kg × 0.2 kg. Accuracy within 0.1%. Deck about 31.5 × 31.5 in powder-coated steel with built-in ramps. LED indicator, desk or pole mount, about 10 ft / 3 m cable. Ports RS-232 and USB. AC adapter included; six AA optional (not in carton). NTEP No — process floor scale. Two handles and wheels; adjustable feet. Ship weight about 107 lb / 48.5 kg. Maker: Brecknell DS1000. Live copy names an LED indicator. We will not rewrite that as LCD because a sibling datasheet says LCD.

Clone slugs at $1,174 and $1,199 are the same DS1000 model, not a second quote. This post points at the $1,229 GSC listing. If a search lands you on a look-alike, call (832) 766-5410 and we will put you on this live listing. We will not write a second DS1000 article for a clone slug.

31.5 in vs the 48 × 48 10k already posted

The industrial 4×4 we already posted is the Echelon EH-1044 floor scale with a ramp — 48 × 48, 10,000 lb × 2 lb, NTEP III CC 15-085, $1,349, deck only, no indicator, 15 ft cable, ramps not in that carton. If you are rolling a pallet jack onto a 10k pad, stay on that post. If you are rolling a drum or a keg onto a 31.5 in low-profile with ramps already built in, this DS1000 is the carton. Leaf: floor scales.

Caption: EH-1044 48 × 48 10k — the pad we already posted. Not a substitute for this 31.5 in 1000 lb DS1000.

What we ask from 21249 FM 529 Rd

Pete at pete@allscales.com, (832) 766-5410, asks four things before the DS1000 leaves Cypress.

Heaviest drum or tote this week under 1000 lb? A 1,200 lb tote is a different pad.
Do you need built-in ramps on a 31.5 in deck, or a 48 × 48 10k with ramps sourced separately?
Is this a Texas sale by weight? Live page prints NTEP No — process. Do not sell by this pad.
Do you need six AA in the box? Live copy says optional, not in carton. AC adapter is in the box.

Texas legal-for-trade conversation: NTEP in Texas and NTEP legal-for-trade. House floor kits we assemble in Cypress are always MNM Scales — full name.

What is in the Cypress carton

DS1000 platform.
LED indicator.
AC adapter.
Indicator mounting brackets.
Manual.
Six AA not in carton.

We do not do truck scales, pit scales, axle scales, or weighbridges. A 1000 lb drum pad is a floor-scale call, not a truck-scale call. How we take that call: Houston calibration from Cypress. Service: scale calibration Houston. No ISO 17025. No A2LA.

How Cypress uses a 31.5 in pad

The DS1000 is the pad we roll into a Houston warehouse when the freight is drums, kegs, or chairs, not pallets. Pete will put a known mass on the deck at 21249 FM 529 Rd if you ask. That is a Cypress bench conversation, not a certificate. We will not print Texan-certified on a process floor scale. If a test mass comes up, we say Texan-tested.

Typical Cypress jobs on this 1000 lb body: a brewery rolling kegs, a chemical drum receiving line, a vet clinic that needs a low-profile pad with ramps, a warehouse that already priced the EH-1044 and realized the pallets never get on the scale. Wheels and handles are why it moves. Adjustable feet are why it sits on an uneven Cypress slab. A pallet jack still prefers a 48 × 48.

Sister catalog: ek1200i.com. Manufacturer stays on brecknellscales.com. We will not name competitor dealers.

Built-in ramps are why a drum rolls on without a separate ramp SKU. Handles and wheels are why one person can relocate it on a Cypress slab. Adjustable feet are why an uneven warehouse floor does not rock the reading. Six AA are optional and not in the carton — if the dock has no outlet, say so on the call so we do not ship an AC-only surprise. Those four sentences are the 31.5 in talk versus a 48 × 48 10k pad that still needs ramps sourced.

A veterinary large-animal weigh is on the live applications list. A truck scale is not. We will not stretch this 1000 lb drum pad into an axle job. Parts and extra indicators we build are always MNM Scales. Email pete@allscales.com a photo of the drum diameter if you are unsure 31.5 in is enough flat.

On a Houston service call we will level the feet, confirm the LED talks to the deck, and tell you again this pad is not NTEP. That sentence is the whole legal talk on the DS1000.
