Force Gauges FGE-HX – FGV-HX Shimpo

The microprocessor-controlled, digital FGE-HX and FGV-HX offer the same user-friendly features of our popular FGE/FGV series, but in an extremely heavy-duty case, allowing the gauges to handle larger capacities from 0 to 1000 pounds. Two knurled steel handles are provided for hand operation and a hanger is included which enables each gauge to be used as a scale.
