I have noticed that these are on trolleys in my new school, but i have a lovely shelf space that would work too, can they be moved around from shelf to trolley? Or is it better to keep them on a trolley - or is just a pain in the butt to move them when they are rquired.
thanks! I need ideas...

Re: Storing Triple Beam balances
Ours live in a cupboard, We remove the hanging pans, and place them near the beam balances, so that the long arm does not have a strain on it. They have stored very well for over 8 years this way.

Re: Storing Triple Beam balances
When I had Triple Beam Balances I used to store them on shelves and removed the hanging pans. My difference is that I numbered the balance and the hanging pans so that the correct pan went with the same numbered balance. These things can be so precious that this overcame any discrepancies that arose.

Re: Storing Triple Beam balances
Mine live on shelves and I don't take the pans off. They all live in one lab and I just carry them to the other when they are needed (or put them on a trolley if I have one empty at the time). They only get used here about twice/year so it seems a waste of a trolley if you have shelf space that you can use!
Re: Storing Triple Beam balances
They're off the trolley!!! and the trolley is clean of the builders dust - that stuff gets into your nose!!!
