In the world of warehousing and logistics, accurate weighing plays a pivotal role in ensuring the efficient movement and distribution of goods. Warehouses use various types of weighing scales to meet the diverse weighing needs of their operations. The choice of the specific type of scale depends on the nature of the products or materials being weighed and the intended use.
Pallet Truck Scales
Pallet truck scales provide the ability to move palletized products and weigh the product in one operation. This eliminates the additional stage of bringing the product to a floor scale to weigh and then onto its destination. Pallet truck scales are for control use and are not legal for trade.
ASB Bench and Floor Scales
Bench scales are versatile and commonly used for weighing smaller to medium-sized items in a controlled environment. Floor scales are heavy-duty weighing scales designed to handle large and heavy loads, such as pallets, containers, and bulk materials. Like bench scales, many floor scales offer connectivity options, making it possible to integrate them into warehouse management systems or other software for efficient data handling.
Counting Scales
Counting Scales are digital platform scales which weigh and have the additional feature of taking sample weights of uniform objects, calculating the average piece weight and determining the total count on either the local platform or remote bulk platform.
Crane Skills
A crane scale is a tool that weighs objects suspended from a crane. It has a hook, display unit, and mechanism to measure and record weight. At Active Scale, we carry a broad range of crane scales and tension links for both vertical and horizontal tension measurement. Our scales are designed with a range of functions and features to meet all the demands of the industry. Rental crane scales and tension links are available in a range from 2000 to 40,000 pounds.
Truck Scales
Truck scales are commonly used in various industries, including transportation, logistics, agriculture, and construction, to ensure compliance with weight regulations and to manage inventory. There are several types of truck scales, including axle scales, portable scales, and weighbridge scales. Axle scales are designed to weigh individual axles or groups of axles, providing a quick assessment of load distribution.
