Material handling in the shipping and receiving department is always under time pressure. Time-critical cargo is shipped around the globe and incoming goods need to be stored in accurate quantities and according to warehouse capacities.

Weighing becomes increasingly important in this process. It is used to determine freight costs for outgoing goods, receive and split incoming goods and to comply with safety regulations, such as SOLAS for sea freight. Often fixed weighing stations in a warehouse cause workers to walk and to transport goods long distances between shelves. This transportation time does not benefit business; it means cost instead.

Mobile weighing for greater efficiency

That's where mobile weighing solutions can help. They enable logistics workers to operate precisely under time pressure. Mobile weighing solutions offer time-saving flexibility to make your production efficient. With our three essential weighing devices, checkweighing and counting many different articles or heavy loads are no longer time-consuming tasks.

Small parts inventory control and counting

The battery-powered ICS241 is a basic counting scale for multi-purpose use in various industrial environments. Use it to count metal, plastic and other parts for accurate order-picking, packaging and completeness checks. The ICS241 scale offers an easy-to-use interface, thanks to a large display and intuitive softkeys for direct access to key functions. Attach a label printer to record incoming or outgoing orders and make them traceable.

Pallet-truck scale for Weighing on the go

Pallet-weighing solutions offer reliability and flexibility for logistics and warehousing applications. The BTA231 pallet truck scale is a cost-effective solution with an easily visible terminal display. Workers can determine the weight of standard pallets while moving the cargo.

Heavy loads and quick handling

Our VFS220 Forklift Scale facilitates material handing in incoming and outgoing bins, pallets of all sizes and packages. It can save time and money by making weighing a one-step operation. Because the scale carriage is mounted on a forklift truck’s lift bracket, you get an accurate weight reading simply by lifting a pallet. It eliminates the time-consuming task of transporting pallets to a floor scale, weighing them and removing them afterward. A forklift scale can save enough to pay for itself in as few as nine months.
