Shop Mechanical Counter Scales in Uganda

What to look for in mechanical counter shop scales

When selecting a mechanical counter scale for a retail shop in Uganda, consider these factors:

• Capacity: Make sure the maximum weight capacity matches your typical goods (e.g., 5 kg, 20 kg, 30 kg etc).

• Readability & footprint: The dial should be easy to read by you and the customer; the scale should fit your counter space.

• Durability: Retail shops have heavy use; go for metal frame, quality pan and strong mechanical mechanism.

• No reliance on electricity: Mechanical means you don’t depend on power or batteries — good for environments with unstable supply.

• Local service & calibration: Ensure you buy from a supplier that can support calibration/verification if used for trade.

• Price transparency: Check the UGX price and ask if delivery/installation are included.

Price guidance

From the Smart Weighing Kampala catalogue:

• A mechanical “Commercial Retail Shop Mechanical Balance Weighing Scale, 6 Stones – Gold” is listed for UGX 240,000. Smart Weighing Scales Kampala

• Smaller mechanical models (e.g., up to 5kg) are listed from UGX 80,000 in their table‑top collection. Smart Weighing Scales Kampala

So for mechanical counter shop scales expect something in the ball‑park of ~UGX 100,000 to 300,000 or more depending on capacity and build quality.
