A pallet jack scale is a portable version of the floor scale. The scale can be easily maneuvered to point of loading or unloading and in process measures the weight of the object. The object that is to be measured is placed on a plastic or wooden pallet. The pallet and the object together are lifted up above the ground level by the pallet jack scale and the combined weight reading of pallet and object is displayed on the LCD display board. From this combined reading the weight of pallet is deducted. The final weight obtained after this deduction is the true weight of the object. This is an ingenious way to weigh the objects while they are being transported to there suitable point in the warehouse.

A pallet jack scale is also known as a pallet truck scale and comes in different capacities and sizes to suit the loading and weighing operations of the facility. They are designed to save space and easily maneuver through the narrow spaces of the warehouse and at same time do heavy lifting job to place the goods at requisite positions. The rugged construction helps the weighing scale to easily handle heavy loads ...
... with minimum wear and tear. This means the maintenance cost is less compared to the type of heavy duty work they perform. All these features make the truck pallet scale a necessity in a facility where loading, unloading and weighing operations are important part of the daily working schedule of the facility.

For quicker movement, a battery driven pallet scale is available to speed up the operations. All the movements of the pallet truck scale are powered by batteries and only drawback this type of weighing scale encounters is that the battery needs to be recharged and the facility should have proper charging points to maintain the daily working schedule of the truck pallet scale.

A built in LCD display screen quickly displays the reading and can be easily connected to a computer. The readings are stored in the computer for future reference. In the end it would be right to say that a pallet jack scale increases productivity of the manufacturing or storage facility and thus increases its profit.
