Custom Weighing Solutions for Specialty Crops
At Peninsula Scale, we specialize in customized weighing systems for industries that often go underserved by traditional scale manufacturers. One of our most successful developments is the Harvest Scale System — designed specifically for specialty fruit and vegetable growers.
By working directly with growers and farm labor contractors, we’ve built a robust, field-tested system tailored to crops like:
- Blueberries
- Cherries
- Strawberries
- Blackberries & Raspberries
- Grapes
- Mushrooms
- Tomatoes
Built for Blueberry Harvesting — and Beyond
Our blueberry harvesting system is fully integrated and ready for rugged field use. Standard features include:
- Long-lasting battery – Runs for 16 hours on a single charge
- Fast recharge – NOCO charger tops off in 4–6 hours with a standard extension cord
- 100 lb capacity scale base – Perfect for produce bins and flats
- 2D barcode scanner – For fast and accurate identification
- Thermal or impact ticket printer – On-the-spot printed records
- USB data output – Optional cellular module for real-time data transfer
- Pelican Hardigg impact-resistant case – Protects the system from field conditions
We also offer alternative configurations for cherries and mushrooms to match their unique harvesting workflows.
Handheld Scanner Option for Piece-Rate Tracking
For farms looking for even more flexibility, our handheld scanner solution integrates directly with our online web-based software. This allows you to:
- Count the number of flats collected
- Merge counts with weights from other locations
- Compare piece-rate vs. hourly pay to ensure minimum wage compliance
This makes it easy to stay compliant with labor laws while tracking harvest productivity in real time.
