If you are responsible for the smooth running of a busy factory or warehouse space, then high performance pallet truck scales are essential. When you start searching for pallet truck scales for sale, there are a few considerations you need to bear in mind.
Cost is just one part of the equation
While cost is going to have a part to play, there are many other key issues that you must address. Your pallet truck scales are often the foundation of your factory. Hardwearing, versatile and performing a wide range of daily weighing tasks, it’s hugely important to carefully think through what you need before you buy, as your choice can have financial and legal consequences.
Here are a few pointers:
1) Consider the maximum weight you are likely to be lifting/weighing. If you need a very high capacity, then you might wish to consider platform scales or beams.
2) Storage space is important. Make sure that you have a protected area to keep your scales. Check dimensions on the relevant product sheet.
3) Assessment of the type of environment is exceptionally important as this can affect the accuracy of the readings you take. ATEX Approved scales are required if your workspace has been classified as potentially flammable or explosive.
4) The type of design material you opt for could be important. Stainless steel is a good option if used in a wet, humid environment in terms of performance and ease of cleaning.
5) A built-in electronic weighing feature can be an asset for efficient use and sharing of data throughout the process.
