Premium quality industrial components Avery Weigh-Tronix, Pelican, and Zebra
2D image scanner is designed for use in direct sunlight with double sided ID badges
Thermal ticket printer is lightning fast and holds rolls up to 300 feet reducing paper changes
alternative Impact printer for quick picker receipts and a yellow carbonless copy that lasts 5 years
Transfer data with USB flash drive as your standard OR optional cellular module on Verizon 4G LTE network provides real-time harvest monitoring from anywhere in the world

Self contained battery and charger plugs right into 110 volt extension cord

Thermal Printer

The standard version comes equipped with an integrated thermal printer which prints FASTER, uses less battery and paper rolls are 3 times the length (300 feet instead of 100 feet for the impact) so you change the paper rolls less often.

Impact Printer

Available with a Epson TMU220 Impact Printer. This printer is a bit slower and more expensive than our standard thermal printer but it offers the ability to have a yellow carbon copy of your printed tickets that you can keep as a backup. The tickets do NOT fade in high heat or sunlight conditions like the thermal receipt paper does over several weeks or months of exposure.

Built for Speed

With transaction times less than 3 seconds each and built to run for over 16 hours with continuous printing the Harvest Scale will work when you need it to.

Field Scale Construction

The harvest scale is made to last utilizing stainless steel components and marine grade wiring. Just put on the lid and let it ride out the rain, no problems...

Portable and Self Contained

With a marine AGM battery and "NOCO" brand smart charger included everything is self contained in a industrial case, just plug in an extension chord into the side of the case.

HSS Scales has by far the best customer service I have ever experienced, their customer service is phenomenal...

Stan Lanier • Wrigley's Fields Georgia

Their Software is simple, intuitive, and easy to use. With a few clicks I can run payroll for all of my different crews in a few minutes at the end of the week.

Grower in Michigan • Accounting

Their field scales are really well built and easy to use. We have been using them for nearly a decade and we have only had to replace some expected parts like batteries and printers. It is easy to teach my scale operators to use them in the field as well.

Grower in Florida • Field Operations Supervisor

Nearly instant payback compared to counting buckets!

We know that even for small farms, the payback period can be as short as a few harvest weeks when switching to weight based payroll accountability for your harvesting crews... What are you waiting for?
