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 weight of these goods as accurately as possible. The sender is required by law to declare the correct weight on the shipping documents. Overloads and incorrect declaration can cause a lot of trouble. Determining shipping weights is probably the most common use of a hand pallet truck scale. It’s in the shipping department where time can be saved by weighing mobile. 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 can be printed on a ticket, together with an order number and date and time.
Van Roessel Printers: incomplete deliveries signaled in time
Van Roessel Drukwerkers does specialised print jobs for the multimedia market. It sometimes happened that the presses had to be stopped, because 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.

In Schneider Electric’s logistic warehouse in Helmond, every single pallet is weighed at goods reception and again before shipping. The floor scale was a true bottleneck compared to the mobile weighing solutions.
Heineken
At Heineken, return shipments of 1,000-liter beer tanks are weighed to determine the amount of beer left in the tanks, since customers are invoiced for the amount of beer consumed. Heineken uses iForks for quick and accurate weighing.
