KERN 347-042-008 Weight Basket — OIML M1, 40 kg base for block weights

The KERN 347-042-008 weight basket is a purpose-built load carrier for testing and storing block calibration weights, optimised for high-capacity floor, pallet and crane scales.

• OIML class M1 adjusted for calibration
• 40 kg basket weight for stable handling
• Fits block weights: 16×10 kg or 8×20 kg
• Max total load 200 kg for heavy scales

Ensure compliant verification with fewer handling steps

The basket is calibrated to OIML M1, providing a reliable reference for verification routines and calibration cycles. With a 40 kg base weight and designed capacity for standard block weights, the solution permits a full set of control masses to be placed and removed in a single operation, which streamlines calibration procedures and reduces lift-and-place cycles. This rational setup supports traceable results and speeds up regular test intervals for production and logistics environments.

Robust construction for long service life and easy maintenance

Manufactured from stainless steel with a bead-blasted finish, the carrier offers corrosion resistance and a surface that tolerates workshop conditions while remaining easy to clean. The solid construction preserves geometric stability under repeated loading, so verification accuracy is retained over time. The durable material choice minimises service interventions, offering a low-maintenance asset for calibration laboratories and industrial workshops.

Designed for heavy-duty scale environments and safe handling

With a maximum total load of 200 kg, the basket suits verification of heavy floor scales, pallet scales, weighing trolleys and crane scales. The possibility to accommodate either 16×10 kg or 8×20 kg block weights reduces the need for multiple individual lifts and lowers the risk of incorrect weight placement. By cutting handling steps, the workflow becomes more efficient and occupational safety is improved during routine checks and maintenance.

Flexible standards and practical storage combined

The carrier doubles as a storage solution for the control weights, keeping the set organised and ready for immediate use. Other OIML accuracy classes are available on request, offering adaptability to different calibration standards or internal quality procedures. The combination of standardised design and traceability features supports consistent audit trails and simplifies documentation for compliance and quality assurance.
