weigher
One checking heaviness
A weigher is a person or device that determines weight.
The term usually appears in occupational contexts—someone whose job involves weighing goods, livestock, or materials: The weigher at the grain elevator recorded each truck's load.
Compound forms specify what's being measured: coal weigher, cotton weigher.
