hanging scale
Dangling measurement device
A hanging scale is a weighing device that measures weight by suspending an object from a hook rather than placing it on a platform.
The scale hangs from above while the item dangles below: The fisherman used a hanging scale to weigh his catch.
Common for weighing produce, luggage, game animals, and other items where a flat surface isn't practical.
