Brecknell ElectroSamson 99 lb: Handheld Hanging from Cypress

Aug 29
3 min read

A Houston receiving dock that hangs a 40 lb carton off a fish scale is using the right shape of tool. The 99 lb body All Scales USA actually puts in a Cypress truck is the Brecknell SA3N340 ElectroSamson — 99 lb × 0.1 lb / 45 kg × 0.05 kg, $111.60. The query that already converts is samson99. The live GSC slug is salter-brecknell-electro-samson-99lb-scale-2. 22 lb and 55 lb clones exist. This post is the 99 lb carton.

Brecknell SA3N340 ElectroSamson 99 lb × 0.1 lb handheld hanging scale

Handheld hanging, not a crane

The ElectroSamson is an ABS handheld with a built-in grip, a steel lift bar, and an S-hook. 0.6 in LCD. Tare, hold, memory tare. 9 V alkaline in the box. Padded pouch in the box. Net about 0.95 lb. Brecknell code 816965007493. Maker: Brecknell ElectroSamson and the ElectroSamson brochure PDF. It is not NTEP. Do not hang a legal-for-trade sale on it.

The crane we put next to it on the same call is the Brecknell CS-1000 — 1000 lb × 0.5 lb, $563.98. That is a die-cast hanging crane with a remote, a rechargeable pack, a shackle, and a latch hook. Datasheet: Brecknell CS series PDF. If the load is a hoist, a pallet, or anything you should not be holding in one hand, the ElectroSamson is the wrong tool.

What we actually put in a Houston truck

Call (832) 766-5410. Pete at pete@allscales.com asks three questions from 21249 FM 529 Rd.

  • What is the heaviest piece you will hang, not the brochure maximum? 99 lb is the ceiling. A 120 lb casting is a CS-1000 conversation.

  • Are you holding the grip, or hanging the scale from a hoist? Handheld is ElectroSamson. Overhead is crane.

  • Do you need hold for a one-person lift? Hold is on the SA3N340. Memory tare stays through power-off on Brecknell’s page.

Typical Cypress jobs: incoming freight spot-check, feed bags, poultry, a fire-extinguisher audit, a safe-lift check. Leaves: hanging scales and crane scales. A 10,000 lb yard lift is a different post: 10,000 lb crane kit chooser.

What is not in the pouch

  • No remote. No rechargeable pack. No shackle for a crane hook.

  • No NTEP sticker. Process hanging only.

  • 22 lb and 55 lb ElectroSamson bodies are different live SKUs. Do not order 99 lb and hope it reads 0.02 lb.

If the 9 V dies in a week, check auto-off and a leaking cell before you blame the scale. We will not invent a spare 9 V SKU here. Grab a quality alkaline and call if the head still dies.

22 lb, 55 lb, and the 99 lb we actually send

Brecknell builds three ElectroSamson capacities. 22 lb × 0.02 lb, 55 lb × 0.05 lb, and this 99 lb × 0.1 lb. Cypress puts the 99 lb in a Houston truck when the dock does not know the next carton size. If you only hang 15 lb feed bags, the 22 lb body is the finer digit — ask, do not assume this 99 lb page is the only ElectroSamson we have.

Hold is the feature that makes a one-person lift possible. Memory tare keeps a crate tare through auto-off. Auto-off after about two minutes is how the 9 V lasts an afternoon. If you leave it on in a truck cup holder, you will call us about a dead cell that is not the scale. The pouch has a belt clip on Brecknell’s brochure. Use it. The ABS grip is not a crane shackle.

We have seen a dock try to hang 200 lb of chain on an ElectroSamson because it was in the glove box. That is how a lift bar bends. Capacity is 99 lb. Overhead and anything you should not hold is the CS-1000 or a house crane kit. House kits are always MNM Scales — full name. Leaf for overhead: crane scales. Leaf for handheld: hanging scales.

A second live photo on this PDP shows the lift bar and S-hook. That is what ships. Rated slings are not in the pouch. If you need a crane remote and a rechargeable pack, you already left the handheld family.

FAQ

Is this legal for trade?

The live page prints no NTEP CoC. Treat it as process. Texas sales by weight need an NTEP device placed in service — NTEP in Texas.

Can I hang it from a crane?

It is a handheld. For overhead, start with the CS-1000 or a house crane kit. Always MNM Scales on the house kits we build in Cypress — never a bare house nickname.
