Commercial Fishing
Rice Lake Weighing Systems supplies quality crane scales, floor scales and more for harsh marine fishing conditions.
Durable Weighing Solutions for Commercial Fishing
Commercial fishing is one of the most dangerous occupations, where workers face harsh storms, high winds and choppy seas. Fishermen need the support of quality equipment to do their jobs safely and efficiently.
Rice Lake offers a variety of weighing solutions that excel in harsh marine conditions so commercial fishermen can capture accurate fish weighments, no matter the weather.

Crane Scales for Fishing Vessels
Efficiently transferring fish from vessels to tender boats in rough seas with accurate weights is critical. MSI crane scales keep operations moving, with accurate weights and reliable use. The MSI-4260M Port-A-Weigh marine crane scale is a durable overhead weighing solution for fishing boats. The MSI-4260M features an IP66 aluminum enclosure to protect sensitive electronics in rough weather conditions while managing medium- to heavy-capacity loads.
Floor Scales Designed for Commercial Fishermen
Accurately weighing fish is necessary for commercial fishers to understand the size of catches they pull in. Rice Lake’s floor scales are reliable solutions for weighing fish on tender boats or during processing. The RoughDeck® HE hostile environment floor scale is a reliable, easy-to-clean solution with a long lifespan due to its stainless-steel design.



Filling and Batching for Fish Storage
Fish are often stored in large containers, and weight is tracked to ensure nothing is under- or over-filled. Rice Lake’s filling and batching systems, such as the 920i® FlexWeigh System, assist fishermen in filling storage containers to proper capacities. The stainless-steel designs with NEMA Type 4X enclosures are industrial strength to ensure operations always function properly.
Weight Indicators for Demanding Fishing Environments
In stormy weather, fishermen need vibrant displays to view weights. Rice Lake’s weight indicators provide clear results so fishermen can accurately track the weights of catches. Indicators feature different IP ratings to suit various sea environments, as well as wall-mounted options for convenient placement on tender boats or in facilities. Remote displays make it simple for operators to view results from a distance and monitor operations.
Checkweighers for Processing Fish
Processing fish through facilities can take time, but checkweighers can keep operations moving fast. Rice Lake’s CW-90X checkweighers keep processes efficient and accurate when fish are transferred to processing facilities. With sturdy keypads that withstand knife-point contacts and stainless-steel designs, these solutions are ideal for processing individual fish and small containers.
