The Liberty Scales LS-924 medium general purpose crane scale is the right-sized overhead weighing solution for machine shops, auto repair bays, small warehouses, fabrication shops, and any operation that needs accurate suspended weighing for loads from 500 lb up to 3,000 lb. Built with a clear backlit LCD display, rechargeable battery, and an integrated swivel hook ready to attach to your existing chain hoist or jib crane, the LS-924 delivers reliable everyday performance without the heavy-duty footprint or premium cost of larger industrial crane scales.
Choose from five capacity-and-division combinations to match your work — fine 0.1 lb resolution on the 500 lb model for precision parts, or larger 0.5 lb divisions on the 3,000 lb model for weighing engines, weldments, and heavy assemblies.
| Model | Maximum Capacity | Division (Resolution) | Total Divisions |
|---|---|---|---|
| LS-924-500 | 500 lb | 0.1 lb | 5,000 |
| LS-924-1K | 1,000 lb | 0.2 lb | 5,000 |
| LS-924-1.5K | 1,500 lb | 0.5 lb | 3,000 |
| LS-924-2K | 2,000 lb | 0.5 lb | 4,000 |
| LS-924-3K | 3,000 lb | 0.5 lb | 6,000 |
Choosing your division: A finer division (like 0.1 lb on the 500 lb model) gives you precision for smaller, lighter parts. A coarser division (like 0.5 lb on the 3,000 lb model) is the right choice when you're weighing large assemblies and don't need fractional accuracy.

Quick recommendation: If your loads stay under 3,000 lb and you need a straightforward, accurate shop crane scale, choose the LS-924. If you're weighing heavier loads, want a remote control accessory for hands-free operation, or need accumulation features for multi-load totals, step up to the LS-925 Heavy Duty Industrial Crane Scale.
The LS-924 is available in five capacities — 500 lb, 1,000 lb, 1,500 lb, 2,000 lb, and 3,000 lb. Choose a capacity rating at least 25% above the heaviest load you plan to weigh, so you have headroom for overload spikes and shock loading. If you regularly weigh loads above 3,000 lb, see the Liberty Scales LS-925 heavy duty industrial crane scale, which ranges from 3,000 lb to 40,000 lb.
The LS-924 capacities differ in both maximum weight and resolution. The 500 lb model gives you the finest 0.1 lb resolution — the right choice when you're weighing small precision parts. The 1,000 lb model reads in 0.2 lb steps. The 1,500, 2,000, and 3,000 lb models read in 0.5 lb steps, which is the right balance for larger assemblies, engines, and shop loads where fractional ounce accuracy isn't needed. Match the capacity to your heaviest load, then check that the division gives you enough resolution for your lightest load.
The LS-924 is the medium general purpose crane scale, built for shop and light industrial use at capacities from 500 to 3,000 lb. The LS-925 is the heavy duty industrial model with higher capacities from 3,000 to 40,000 lb, a remote control accessory for hands-free operation of zero, tare, and unit functions, accumulation and weight storage features, and a choice of LED or LCD display. Choose the LS-924 for shop and small warehouse use under 3,000 lb; choose the LS-925 for heavier industrial, freight, scrap, or production environments.
Yes. The LS-924 switches between pounds and kilograms at the touch of a button, making it suitable for both U.S. and metric workflows.
The LS-924's rechargeable 6V sealed lead-acid battery provides extended cord-free operation between charges. Charge the battery fully for 10–12 hours before first use to prevent low voltage from initial leakage. An AC adapter is included for continuous-duty operation. For best battery life, fully discharge and recharge once per month, and remove the battery if storing the scale for extended periods.
