How to find the right pallet truck with scale

Pallet trucks with scales are differentiated from other pallet trucks in that they alone feature an integrated scale that allows you to weigh goods directly on the forks of the pallet truck.

Depending on how you plan to use your pallet truck and how frequently you’ll use it, you can choose between economical entry-level models, reliable mid-range models or premium pallet jacks with scales and extensive weighing functions.

1. The benefits of pallet trucks with scales

Weighing pallet trucks have a key advantage over standard pallet trucks: they allow you to weigh loads directly on the forks. This means you don’t need to make time-consuming trips to a separate floor scale.

Pallet trucks with scales are the ideal transport aids for a variety of applications: weighing for goods receipt control in the warehouse, checking shipping weights in logistics, and use in industry or manufacturing.

Additional benefits of our weighing pallet trucks:

  • The weighing process works regardless of load type (pallets, euro mesh boxes, transport boxes, etc.)
  • Maintains the same manoeuvrability, agility, and robustness as a standard pallet
  • Delivers accurate weight readings using various weighing functions
  • Improves efficiency by combining goods handling with weight measurement

2. How to choose the right pallet truck with scale

Our online shop features a broad range of weighing pallet trucks, with options to suit different tasks and environments. To find the right model for you, consider the following questions about your intended usage:

  • What load capacity do you need? Will a 2,000kg pallet truck with scale suffice, or do you need equipment that handles loads up to 2,200kg?
  • What level of measuring accuracy is required? What weighing increments do you need for weight recording?
  • Which weighing functions are essential, e.g., will you require a sum function or addition memory?
  • Do you need special features like a pallet truck with a calibrated scale or multi-range display?
  • How frequently and in what environments will you use your weighing pallet truck?
  • What optional extras might you need, such as built-in printer or additional battery pack?

All our pallet trucks with scales feature smooth steering, robust surfaces, and durable fork and steering wheels, regardless of the model. Every scale includes zero-point correction (manual or automatic) and tare function for net weight measurements. The scales automatically enter standby mode when not in use and their power source is either replaceable batteries or integrated battery modules housed in the metal casing.

3. Choose the right pallet truck design for your needs

4. Find the right scale capacity for your requirements

Our weighing pallet trucks are available in a range of configurations, each tailored to different operational needs.
