Pallet Truck Scales

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Pallet Truck Scale

The right pallet truck scale depends on how detailed your weighing records need to be. A standard unit giving an accurate weight reading is often enough for simple goods-in or goods-out checks, while a touch screen model with a thermal printer is better suited to businesses that need printed tickets for every pallet. If you need to send weight data to a warehouse management system, look for a model with WiFi, RF or USB connectivity. Fork length and lift height should also match your existing pallet trucks and racking. For hygienic or washdown environments, a stainless steel ATEX or Hygienx pallet truck scale may be more appropriate than a standard steel model.
