English translation:uncalibrated truck/weighing scales
Explanation:
A tradução de "balança" para inglês depende do tipo de balança. "weighing scales" é um nome mais genérico. Mas, por exemplo, se for uma balança para pesar caminhões (que poderia ser o caso aqui), se chama "truck scale" (EUA) ou "weighbridge" (fora dos EUA).
