Ohaus - Pallet Scales

• Receiving and dispatch areas for verifying incoming and outgoing goods.
• Warehouses and distribution centres for inventory management and stock control.
• Manufacturing facilities for weighing raw materials, work-in-progress, and finished products.
• Logistics operations for calculating shipping weights and freight charges.
• Agricultural settings for weighing bulk produce or feed.

Typical capacity

For this class of equipment, capacities commonly range from 1,000 kg to 3,000 kg, though higher capacity units are available.

Platform dimensions

Typically, the platform size is designed to accommodate standard Euro or industrial pallets, often around 1200mm x 1200mm.

Power supply

Most industrial pallet scales are mains powered (230V, 50Hz, UK standard) with some models offering rechargeable battery options for portability.

Readability/Accuracy

Commonly, these scales offer readability in 0.5 kg or 1 kg increments, with higher precision models available for specific applications.

Construction material

Typically constructed from robust mild steel with a durable powder-coated finish, or stainless steel for corrosive or hygienic environments.

Connectivity

Many units feature basic connectivity options such as RS-232 for data output to a printer or PC.

• What is the typical lifespan of a used pallet scale?

  With proper maintenance and calibration, industrial pallet scales are built for durability and can provide many years of reliable service, even when purchased used. The load cells are often the most critical component for longevity.

• Do these scales require regular calibration?

• Can pallet scales be moved easily?

• What kind of foundation is needed for a pallet scale?

• Are there different types of pallet scales?

Weighing terminals and load cells are regarded as robust, dependable components in laboratory and pharmaceutical environments. Buyers typically prioritise units with verified calibration history and documentation of maintenance records. The equipment is valued for its longevity and accuracy retention when properly serviced. Key considerations include compatibility with existing systems, sensor condition, and whether calibration certificates are current. Industry practice favours units from recognised manufacturers with established support networks. Used examples generally perform reliably when sourced from well-maintained facilities.
