In case you happen to visit a factory premises, warehouse, or a transport hub chances are that you will see huge stocks of raw materials, intermediate or finished goods lying around. And should you look at the platform or base on which the goods are loaded, you would find flat rectangular structures called pallets. Mostly made out of wood these come in metal, paper, plastics, and other materials.
In logistics these structures are arguably the best way to move enormous quantities of weight from one place to another. The load thus supported by such pallets remains stable and can be moved in places such as a store, warehouse, ship, or a factory. These typically support huge crates of load, which can be further pulled by lifts, forklifts, or cranes. This brings us to the question – if pallets help huge loads to be moved around can these be weighed as well. The answer to that is a certain yes, for there are pallet scales that help in achieving precisely that.
What are Pallet Scales and how do they help?
These are weighing scales that measure the weight of pallets loaded with goods. Moreover, combining a weighing indicator that shows accurate weight reading on a LED display, these robust structures are typically used inside warehouses, factories or logistics hubs. These come in various types like U frame, dual beam frame, or pallet trucks.
As such scales are meant to carry and measure huge loads with high precision you need to procure them from a quality source. And what better source than HiWEIGH weighing system and solution. The company has been working in the field of development and supplying of weighing technologies like a pallet truck with weighing scale among others. Let’s discuss the pallet scales developed by it.
PU / PUX / PUS Pallet Scale:
These U shaped zinc coated platforms that come with an IP66 JB4A junction box and an alloy build load cell, can weigh up to 1500kg. Its special features include a rechargeable battery, an RS232 interface for data output, a counting function and power saving mode among others.
PH / PHS Pallet Scale:
With a capacity to weigh 3000kg of load this stainless steel structure contains PU castors and wheels. Its load cell is secured with IP67 protection. The special features include a 1.2” LED display, an RS232 interface, ABS housing, and functions to support animal weighing, counting, zero/tare, hold, and accumulation.
PHAS Pallet Scale:
Meant to weigh a heavy duty load of up to 3000kg this stainless steel built scale comes with nylon castors and wheels. The assortment of features includes a rechargeable 6V 4Ah battery, a FSTN LCD display, a direct power source of 100 – 240v, two RS232 interfaces, and a real time clock with date and time display. The scale offers options like bluetooth, printer, and an OIML approved indicator.
PHA Pallet Scale:
Again, tailormade for heavy duty weight measurement this stainless steel structure is similar to PHAS scale but with optional OIML/NTEP approved load cells.
Undoubtedly, these quality pallet scales from HiWEIGH that are available at reasonable prices can help in accurate measurement of goods, a crucial factor in the economics of buying, selling, and transportation.
