ABSTRACT:
A weighing scale having a weighing platform, and mechanisms for permitting the weighing platform to be pivoted upwardly from a lowered operational position to a raised non-operational position to reduce the required floor space therefor so that the weighing scale can be conveniently transported to another location for use, where the weighing platform is lowered to the operational position, or for storage thereof. Preferably, the weighing scale is provided with a stabilizing member to prevent the weighing scale from tipping over when the weighing platform is being raised or lowered, where the stabilizing member can also be raised and lowered between an operational position and a non-operational position. Preferably, fold-away ramps are provided on opposite sides of the weighing platform to provide easy access thereto. The pivotal movements of the weighing platform, the stabilizing member and the ramps between the operational and non-operational positions are required to be performed in a predetermined sequence.
