A 3½ ton-elephant was used to test the durability of Mettler Toledo's new 64kg precision balance by standing on them.
METTLER TOLEDO take pride in proving our competence in making laboratory balances safer and easier by offering innovations that will provide solutions in both routine and special laboratory practices and needs.

To prove the durability of our 64kg precision balance we put it to the test by allowing a 3½ ton-elephant to stand on it.
The elephant did not damage the XP balance thanks to Overload Protection, a feature that protects from excess weight overload. This and other key features enhance the flexibility of our XP precision balances, making them the best choice for all your weighing needs:
- Level Control - enables the operator to check and level the balance through instructions displayed on the terminal.
- SmartSens- hands-free operation for simple processes such as zeroing, tearing and printing without touching the balance.
- MinWeigh- indicates sub-minimum weight values. The weight displayed changes from black to red for sub minimum weights.
- LabX software - the perfect solution for a laboratory manager who can visualize balance data and control a multitude of jobs from a PC without entering the laboratory.
METTLER TOLEDO is also committed in offering a full-range of accessories to increase the efficiency of your weighing processes
