Whether you're a warehouse operator manufacturer, importer, or retailer, pallet scales can be one of the most useful pieces of equipment in your business. Portable and easy to transport, they are essential for accomplishing all of your pallet storage requirements. These types of scales are available in many different configurations, some hand held, and others powered by an electric motor. With so many models and options, there's sure to be a pallet scale to meet your needs.

Pallet scales come in all shapes and sizes to accommodate the needs of your industry. Dual and U-frames pallet scales are most popular, allowing for increased productivity and better cost efficiency. Handheld and wall-mounted pallet scales, on the other hand, are great for weighing items on the lower shelves, near the floor and even inside pallets. Versatile, convenient and robust, pallet scales are designed to withstand the toughest work conditions imaginable. So, just how do pallet scales help you?

Increased Productivity. When you're weighing products from pallets, every ounce counts, and that's because pallets are large. The floor is usually covered with stacks of merchandise, which makes it nearly impossible to keep track of individual ounces. Portable weighing devices, including wall and handheld pallet scales, are designed to quickly calculate the weight of everything from waders to shampoo bottles, without taking too much time. When you're able to quickly find out the weight of the items you need to weigh, you'll notice an increase in productivity. This can also apply to the manufacturing floor, where the faster you can determine the weight of finished product, the sooner you can get rid of it for good.

Avoiding Under- Harvesting. In certain industrial applications, such as those where steel is the primary material being used, under-harvesting can be a serious problem. Since steel is prone to corrosion when exposed to water, the longer the machine is idling, the more water is absorbed and corrodes the metal. When weighing items in industrial applications, pallet scales avoid under-harvesting by not requiring the operator to run the machinery excessively.

More Accurate Results. Modern pallet scales come equipped with integrated digital electronic readouts, so they can provide much more accurate results than old-fashioned mechanical counterparts. Newer models include onboard programming that allows the user to configure settings for specific weighing conditions. This means that the machine is always working at its most efficient capacity, consistently providing high quality results. Another major advantage of these modern machines is that they require less space, since they often only need a dedicated work area on the floor. This reduces the cost of maintaining the equipment and eliminates the need for costly floor space expansion.

Versatile. Modern industrial weighing scales have many different configurations and function efficiently no matter what type of application they are used for. Because of their compact size, they can easily be moved from one job site to another. They also have the capability to be connected to a computer or other types of information display, greatly expanding the range of measurement that can be performed.
