Product Description

Guardian Lite Series • 4′ × 4′ • GRDLITE5544-5K

4′ x 4′ Industrial Floor Scale with G-500E Indicator

The Guardian Lite is Transcell's high-value industrial floor scale, built on the same proven Guardian platform that has been trusted in warehouses and manufacturing facilities since 2003. This NTEP-certified platform scale is available in a 5,000 lb capacity, legal for trade and factory calibrated, ready to use the moment it arrives on your dock.

Every Guardian Lite 5,000 lb floor scale ships as a complete, ready-to-use system. The structural steel platform pairs with the G-500E indicator: NTEP certified, equipped with a bright 6-digit LED display, full duplex RS-232 output, and basic piece counting. A 15 ft homerun cable is included.

The platform shares the same heavy-duty construction as the Guardian Premium. An ultra-thick diamond plate deck sits on a ribbed A36 structural steel undercarriage, self-articulating leveling feet compensate for uneven floors, and an IP67-rated top-access junction box means maintenance never requires taking the scale out of service. Backed by a 3-year structural warranty and 2-year electronics warranty, with US-based support from Transcell's facility in Buffalo Grove, IL since 1981.

Installation Options

Above-Ground Freestanding
Place on any flat surface and level with the self-articulating feet. Ramp accessories available in 4x3 ft, 4x4 ft, and 5x4 ft configurations for roll-on pallet jack or cart access. The most common configuration: no site preparation required and fully portable.

In-Floor / Pit Frame Mount
Compatible with in-floor pit frame installations for flush-to-floor weighing. Eliminates the need for a ramp and allows forklift and pallet jack access from any direction. Ideal for high-traffic facilities where floor-level weighing is a safety or workflow requirement. Pit frames sold separately.
