Designed for Shipping and Parcel Software
The BC-60U connects directly to a compatible Windows PC through USB or RS-232. It is designed for use with major carrier, shipping, mailing, and manifest applications, including workflows involving UPS, FedEx, DHL, and other parcel carriers. Its multiple communication modes make it easier to integrate the scale with both established shipping platforms and custom applications.
The built-in keyboard-wedge mode can send the displayed weight to the active field in an application, providing a practical option when software does not offer a dedicated scale interface. Virtual-serial support also allows the USB-connected scale to communicate with applications that expect a traditional COM port.
Software compatibility should be confirmed before ordering. The available connection type does not guarantee that every shipping application supports every scale protocol or feature.
Legal-for-Trade Accuracy
The BC-60U is NTEP-certified under Certificate of Conformance 11-088 as a Class III scale. This makes the scale suitable for commercial applications in which package weight affects the price charged to a customer. Local inspection, registration, calibration, or sealing requirements may still apply before the scale can be placed into legal-for-trade service.
Mettler Toledo’s GeoCal™ setup process compensates for differences in local gravity, helping preserve factory calibration when the scale is installed in a new geographic location.
Built for Busy Packing Stations
A metal frame, stainless-steel platter, and substantial overload protection help the BC-60U withstand frequent package handling in warehouses and shipping departments. The adjustable graphical display can be positioned for easier viewing, while optional remote-display, ball-top, and roller-top accessories can support specialized packing-line layouts.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Mettler Toledo BC-60U legal for trade?
Yes. The BC-60U is NTEP-certified under CC 11-088 as a Class III scale. Your state or local authority may still require inspection, registration, calibration, or sealing before commercial use.
Does this BC-60U include Bluetooth or Ethernet?
No. Part number BCA-222-60U-B101-110 is the basic USB and RS-232 configuration. Bluetooth and Ethernet are available in other BC-60U configurations and should not be assumed to be field-upgradeable.
Can the BC-60U work with UPS, FedEx, or DHL software?
The BC Series is designed for major carrier and shipping-software environments. Actual compatibility depends on the application, scale protocol, operating system, and selected connection method. Confirm your software’s supported-scale list before ordering.
What does keyboard-wedge communication do?
Keyboard-wedge mode sends the scale’s displayed weight to the active field in compatible software, similar to keyboard input. This can help connect the scale to applications that do not provide a dedicated scale driver.
Does the scale require an AC outlet?
Not necessarily. The BC-60U can receive power through a compatible USB connection or through the included universal AC power adapter.
Is this a replacement for the Mettler Toledo PS60?
The BC Series was designed as the successor to Mettler Toledo’s established PS shipping-scale family. Software and installation compatibility should still be checked when replacing an existing scale.
