Ohaus D500RTV Defender 5000 Base, 500000 g x 20 g, 31.5" x 23.6", NTEP

The Ohaus D500RTV model supports a maximum capacity of 500 kg (1,000 lb) with a readability of 20 g (0.05 lb), making it ideal for heavy industrial weighing tasks where both high capacity and reliable precision are essential. The large 31.5″ × 23.6″ (800 mm × 600 mm) stainless steel platform gives you plenty of surface area for bulky or oversized items.

Yes — the D500RTV Defender 5000 Base is NTEP certified and Measurement Canada approved, meaning it meets the strict accuracy and regulatory standards required for commercial weighing applications where legal-for-trade measurements are essential.

This base is built for rugged use with moisture-protected single-point load cells, stainless steel platform and powder-coated steel frame, non-slip adjustable rubber feet, and integrated leveling bubbles. These features enhance stability and durability — even in demanding production, packaging, or shipping environments.

Absolutely — the Defender 5000 R-Series bases use an EasyConnect cable system that allows quick and simple connection to compatible Ohaus weighing indicators (such as the TD52 series) and accessories (e.g., column mounts, extension cables, printers). This makes building a complete weighing solution fast and customizable.
