Shipping weights
Discover mobile weighing solutions for shipping weights. From simple hand pallet trucks to advanced weighing systems with WiFi and data integration into WMS or ERP systems.
Shipping weights
Prevent overloads and unnecessary costs
Every company that ships goods needs to know the most accurate weight of goods possible. As the law requires, the shipper must declare the correct weight on shipping documents. Overloads and incorrect declarations can cause much trouble. Determining shipping weights is probably the most common use of a hand pallet truck scale. By weighing on the go, time can be saved, and downtime can be eliminated . Middle and smaller-sized companies seldom handle large numbers of pallets per day. However, efficient weighing in the shipping department offers other advantages as well. Shipping weights are printed on a ticket with an order number, date, and time.
Van Roessel Printers: incomplete deliveries signaled in time
Van Roessel Drukwerkers does specialized print jobs for the multimedia market. It sometimes happened that the presses had to be stopped because the paper had run out. Nowadays, incomplete deliveries are already signaled while offloading the lorry by a scale on a forklift truck. The weight is registered while driving, which increases efficiency significantly.
