Ohaus D125RQV Defender 5000 Scale Base, 125000 g x 5 g, 24" x 24", NTEP

The Defender 5000 D125RQV model supports heavy weighing tasks with a high capacity (typically around 125,000 g or 250 lb) while offering precise readability (often in the gram or decimal-pound range). This balance of strength and accuracy makes it suited for industrial and commercial environments where both capacity and fine resolution matter.

Yes — the Defender 5000 series, including the D125RQV base, is NTEP (National Type Evaluation Program) certified and often meets Measurement Canada requirements. This means it can be used for legal-for-trade applications, such as pricing by weight, inventory control, and regulated commercial use.

The Defender 5000 base is engineered for harsh industrial environments. It features robust construction with moisture-protected load cells, corrosion-resistant materials, and a high IP protection rating (like IP67), making it capable of handling washdown areas, wet conditions, and high-use applications. This ensures long-term reliability and lower maintenance costs.

Absolutely — this base is designed to integrate easily with compatible Ohaus weighing indicators (sold separately) through standard connectors. It also accepts a variety of accessories like removable stainless steel pans, leveling feet, and mounting kits to match your specific workflow needs.
