- Typical capacity range
- Pallet scales of this type commonly handle loads from 500 kg up to 5000 kg, with some models extending beyond.
- Readability/Graduation
- For this class of equipment, readability typically ranges from 0.1 kg to 1 kg, depending on the maximum capacity.
- Platform dimensions
- Common platform sizes are designed to accommodate standard Euro pallets (1200x800mm) or industrial pallets (1200x1000mm).
- Construction material
- Units for food processing are typically constructed from stainless steel for hygiene and corrosion resistance.
- Power supply
- Most pallet scales operate on a standard single-phase mains supply (e.g., 230V AC, 50Hz) or incorporate a rechargeable battery for portability.
- Connectivity
- Many units offer connectivity options such as RS232 for data transfer to printers or external systems.
- Environmental protection
- Scales for food environments typically feature an IP rating (e.g., IP65 or IP67) for protection against dust and water ingress.
