1.) Recruit a friend and the job will seem easier. You could clean and organize your place this weekend and do theirs the following weekend.

2.) Be prepared to get rid of unwanted or unused items. Assess how much you have in your garage that you use on a regular basis. Anything covered in dust from last year can probably be packed away.  Also, consider having a yard sale if you have unwanted power or hand tools, as there is always demand for those items.

3.) As you size up what you store in your garage, determine the best way to organize your items. Do you only need to separate small things, like craft materials, jewelry, screws, nuts, bolts, nails and screwdrivers?  A color coded system of storage bins (D1163244) is what’s best.  If you have power tools cluttering your work bench and garage floor, it’s a good idea to install shelving.  Either heavy duty wire shelving (D1101222) or open steel shelving (D1170895) will work depending on how much you have and how heavy it is.

4.) Don’t clean and organize your garage only to have it return to its messy conditions. Ever hear the expression “plan twice, build once?”  Think of organizing your garage like this:  “organize once, reorganize never again.

5.) A pressure washer (D1774621) is not only a good idea for cleaning your siding and patio, but also a method to remove paint and other stains that have accumulated over time on your driveway. Various attachments and cleaners are on the market to help you do a thorough job.  Once you finish, inspect your driveway for cracks.  Is it time to have it resealed?

Although this is a commendable act, storage can be a problem when downsizing.  However, there are many clever and innovate ways you can create added storage space. Consider the following when preparing to downsize to a smaller home or office.

• Under Bed Storage – Elevate your bed so that you can store bins or baskets underneath. This is a great place for extra bedding such as blankets, pillows and sheets.

• Bench Storage – Place a trunk or storage bench at the foot of your bed. Along with added seating, it will also provide you with additional storage for clothing or other items.

• Vertical/Open Cabinets and Shelves – Why open? When you opt for open cabinets or shelves, you can make better use of bins or drawers. Both attractive and functional, along with helping to organize, they can also add color and enhance the style of your space. Build cabinets as high as possible in your kitchen and bath. Store rarely used items high and out of reach.

• Added Kitchen Storage – Attach file folders to the sides of cabinets or on the kitchen wall to store large utensils, foil or wax paper for easy access.

• Added Bathroom Storage – In lieu of a mirror, place a cabinet or shelf over the sink. You can also get added storage with an over the toilet shelving unit or medicine cabinet.

• Safe boxes – organize and store personal documents and valuables using a durable electric lock safe.

Often, your home must also serve as an office space. This will require lots of creativity and innovative design ideas. Most importantly, your furniture pieces will need to be multi-functional. For example, your dining table can serve as a desk and a trunk as both a coffee table and storage unit.

Floor scales are used in a number of different applications. In warehouses, they are used to weight pallets. In general, a scale with a limit of 5,000 pounds and a base of 4 feet by 4 feet would suffice for weighing pallets. Plus, these high-capacity scales are used for shipping – to weigh large parcels; for warehouse inventory – allowing users to weigh parts, rather than count them; and in some cases, for weighing livestock. For livestock, there is a specific type of floor scale, called an animal scale, that is typically used.

Understanding Floor Scale Load Limits

The load capacity of your scale is one of the most important determining factors to consider. Typically, loads are offered in kilograms or pounds. For example, 3,000 and 5,000 kg loads are very common for scales. This would translate to about 6,500 or 11,000 pounds. In general, pallet scales average about 5,000 pounds, while there are 30,000+ pound scales available.

Secondly, scales are often marked with load capacity, as well as an incremental figure. For example, you might see a floor scale marked as 5,000 lbs x 5 lbs. This refers to the increments that the scale measures in. Thus, when weighing an object on this scale, measurements would be delivered in 5-pound increments, starting at 5, and then 10, and then 15, up to 5,000 pounds. Increments can be very precise, as little as one-half pound or lower.

Choosing the Right Platform

Another consideration is the size of the scale’s base or platform. Pallet scales typically measure about 4 feet by 4 feet, but there are many different types available. For example, Deelat’s 5,000kg scale has a 2-meterX1.5-meter base (or about 6.5 feet by 5 feet). In general, the size of the scale that you need is determined by the application. For example, measurements are most precise if the object that is being weighed fits entirely on the scale’s platform. Standard pallets measure about 40 inches by 48 inches, and thus, a 48-inch X 48-inch (4ftX4ft) scale is often the best.

It’s also important to recognize the platform’s support system. Often, scales are built with supports that resemble I-beams that can withstand the scale’s load capacity. Scales may have legs, but these scales are typically not as sturdy as those with the I-beam supports.

Types of Scales

There are many different types of floor scales, and often, they’re differentiated by their load capacity and the size of their platforms. A few different types include:

• Bench scales: These are the lowest capacity floor scale, and they’re ideal for weighing objects that are above standard scale limits but that are far below the load capacity of pallet scales. These scales have much smaller platforms, and typical load limits are about 750 pounds maximum.
• Platform Scales: Platform scales are a type of floor scale. The biggest difference is that platform scales are much more portable, while floor scales are often designed to be installed in a stationary position. Platform scales also have slightly lower capacities up to about 2,500 pounds.
• Livestock Scales: Animal scales are specially designed floor scales. Often, they have a caging system to keep the animal in place during weighing.
• Truck/Vehicle scales: These are the highest capacity floor scale, and they are designed to accommodate vehicles. Their load capacities range up to 50,000 pounds or more.
