Rice Lake Ishida IGX-150: 150 lb NTEP Pole Bench

Aug 29
5 min read

A Houston receiving counter that outgrew a 30 lb portable bench does not need a second iPC. It needs a pole-mount 150 lb checkweigh carton. The bench All Scales USA actually stocks in Cypress is the Ishida IGX-150 — 150 lb × 0.05 lb / 60 kg × 0.02 kg, Rice Lake part 84989, $971.44, ten in stock. Live slug: rice-lake-ishida-igx-ntep-bench-scale-with-pole-150lb-60-kg-by-0-05-lb-0-02-kg. This post is the pole VFD 150 lb body. The 30 lb iPC is already written.

What the live page actually prints

Brand Ishida. Model IGX-150. Rice Lake part 84989. Capacity × readability 150 lb × 0.05 lb / 60 kg × 0.02 kg. NTEP Class III, CC 05-020, 3,000 d — legal-for-trade at the 1/3,000 setting. Display is a 25 mm vacuum fluorescent (VFD) on a pivoting pole, not a battery LCD. Platform 15.75 × 21.65 in stainless cover on a die-cast base. Checkweigh HI/LO, 10 PLUs, lb/kg toggle, internal buzzer. Power 120 VAC. Not the 300 lb IGX-300 and not the battery IGB LCD sibling. Maker: Rice Lake Ishida IGX Series and the Ishida IGX catalog page that names part 84989 at 150 lb × 0.05 lb.

Texas trade still needs a place-in-service after the CoC. Start here: NTEP in Texas and the leaf NTEP legal-for-trade. We will not invent a finer legal increment than 0.05 lb on this carton.

Pole 150 lb vs the 30 lb iPC already posted

The portable cousin is the Rice Lake Ishida iPC 30 lb from Cypress — part 75457, auto-range 0–15 × 0.01 / 15–30 × 0.02, NTEP CC 02-139, $295.28, 11 × 11.5 in platter, six-digit 1 in LCD. D cells and AC 75473 are not in that carton. If every box this week is under 25 lb and you want to carry the scale to a second counter, stay on the iPC post. If the heaviest carton is 80 lb, or the operator needs a pole VFD they can read while standing, you left the 30 lb family.

How Cypress lays out a receiving counter

Pete at pete@allscales.com, (832) 766-5410, asks four things before the IGX-150 leaves 21249 FM 529 Rd.

  • What is the heaviest piece this week, not the brochure maximum? 150 lb is the ceiling. A 180 lb tote is a different bench.

  • Do you need a pole so one person can tare standing up, or a portable LCD you can carry? Pole is IGX. Carry is iPC.

  • Is this a Texas sale by weight? Live page prints NTEP CC 05-020. Place in service before a commercial sale.

  • Do you need HI/LO checkweigh with a buzzer, or just a number? Ten PLUs live on this body.

Leaves: bench scales and shipping and postal scales. Compact chooser if the job is actually a 4000 g lab bench: compact digital bench scale. House kits and extra cells we build in Cypress are always MNM Scales — full name.

What is in the Cypress carton

  • IGX-150 bench scale with pole VFD.

  • Stainless platter / cover.

  • 120 VAC power.

  • Manual.

No battery pack in this carton — that is the IGB family. No 300 lb IGX-300 in this SKU. We do not do truck scales, pit scales, axle scales, or weighbridges. A 150 lb pole bench is a counter call. How we take that call: Houston calibration from Cypress. Service page: scale calibration Houston. No ISO 17025. No A2LA.

What we check on FM 529 before it ships

The IGX-150 is the bench we put on a Houston packing line when the operator is standing and the boxes are 40–120 lb. Pete will put a known mass on the platter 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 checkweigh bench. If a test mass comes up, we say Texan-tested. A legal-for-trade place-in-service in Texas is still required even with CC 05-020 on the nameplate.

Typical Cypress jobs on this 150 lb body: a fulfillment counter that outgrew the iPC, a food pack line that needs HI/LO without a washdown head, a receiving dock that already owns a 30 lb portable and just found a 90 lb carton. We have also seen a shop try to stand the IGX in a hose-down room because the stainless cover looked wet-rated. The cover is stainless. The die-cast base and 120 VAC pole are not a washdown carton. Hose-down is a different post and a different SKU.

Rice Lake’s catalog lists a 300 lb IGX sibling at 0.1 lb. Different part, different post later. This article is the 150 lb × 0.05 lb GSC carton at $971.44. If a search lands you on a look-alike pole bench, call and we will put you on this live listing. We will not write a second IGX-150 article for a clone slug.

Sister site if you are browsing the wider catalog from Cypress: ek1200i.com. We will not send you to a competitor dealer. Manufacturer literature stays on ricelake.com.

The pole is why a standing packer can tare without bending to an 11 in LCD. The VFD is why a dim Houston warehouse still reads the last digit. Ten PLUs are why a line with three box sizes does not re-key HI/LO all morning. Internal buzzer is why the operator does not have to stare. Those four sentences are the Cypress upsell from the 30 lb iPC, not a spec reprint. If the job is actually washdown, stop — this die-cast base and 120 VAC pole are not the Cardinal EB-150-190 post.

Parts, extra cells, and house indicators we build in the same shop stay under parts, cells & indicators and are always MNM Scales. Email pete@allscales.com a photo of the counter height if you are unsure the pole clears a shelf.

FAQ

Is the IGX-150 legal for trade?

The live page prints NTEP Class III, CC 05-020, 3,000 d. Legal-for-trade at the 1/3,000 setting. Still place it in service in Texas before a commercial sale by weight.

Can I use it like the 30 lb iPC?

No. The iPC is a portable 30 lb LCD you can carry. This is a 150 lb pole VFD on 120 VAC. Capacity is five times the iPC.
