The Rice Lakes MSI-4260M Port-a-Weigh crane scale is the most robust scale on the market for marine and industrial weighing, able to capture weight with ±0.1% accuracy with a standard 5,000 lb capacity. The IP66 aluminum enclosure stands up to moisture in marine and washdown environments, with sensitive electronic components sealed off and well-protected, including the MSI-4260M's LCD display .

The five-digit, 1.75-inch LCD display features programmable brightness control, ensuring users have access to weight data in any light condition. The display includes annunciators for COZ, Battery Level, Net, Total, lb/kg, Stability, RF, and Setpoint LEDs. A brightly lit battery display indicates when the unit is at 25%, 50%, 75% and full power, with timed auto-off and auto-sleep modes to conserve power when not in use.

In highly regulated marine applications, meeting safety requirements is crucial. The NTEP-Certified MSI-4260M features a 200% Safe and 500% Ultimate Safety Factor, minimizing the risk of accidents from overloading. The scale is built to perform reliably for every catch with extended battery life up to 1,000 hours using six D cell alkaline batteries.

The scale features a top lifting eye with lower link interface. Optional accessories include a rugged remote control for On/Off, Zero, Tare and other functions; RF modem for connectivity to MSI-8000, MSI-8000HD, MSI-8004HD, TranSend and LaserLight2 remote displays (typically 100 to 300 ft line of sight); and Wi-Fi communication for specialty applications. Service counters count number of lifts over percentage of capacity and lifts over capacity.
