Ohaus D25WQL Defender 5000 Scale Base, 25000 g x 1 g, 18" x 18", NTEP

The OHAUS Defender 5000 series base like the D25WQL is designed for industrial bench weighing with a maximum capacity of approximately 50 lb (25 kg) and a fine readability of around 0.002 lb (1 g) — giving you both a robust range and reliable measurement resolution for rugged applications such as packing, shipping, and quality control.

The Defender 5000 bases are built for tough use with moisture-protected single-point load cells, a rugged stainless-steel platform, non-slip adjustable feet, and integrated leveling bubbles. These design elements help ensure stable, accurate weighing on uneven or moist surfaces often found in production or processing areas.

Yes — models in the Defender 5000 series (like the similar D25WQR) are NTEP Certified and Measurement Canada Approved, meaning they meet legal-for-trade standards required for commercial weighing uses such as customer billing, inventory management, and regulated processes.

The Defender 5000 scale base is designed with EasyConnect™ load cell compatibility, allowing quick connection to compatible OHAUS indicators (sold separately) and peripherals like printers or computer interfaces. This adaptability helps you integrate the scale into existing workflows for data logging or reporting.
