Industrial scale and weighing equipment supplier Avery Weigh-Tronix has extended its range with the introduction of the PTS2000S; the next generation of pallet truck scale.

The PTS2000S makes in-motion weighing part of the natural process of moving goods within the organisation. Build features including high quality steel, polyurethane wheels and a shock and vibration resistant scale make it ideal for use in harsh operating environments. While wireless and Bluetooth connectivity allows for the instant transfer of weight data from the scale to the user’s back office system, avoiding manual data input.

Businesses shipping goods via freight forwarders can avoid unbudgeted surcharges by using the PTS2000S to ensure accurate weight and dimension details are provided to freight forwarders before shipments are sent. It’s also great for establishing the VGM (Verified Gross Mass) of a container.

Businesses receiving inbound consignments can improve vehicle unloading efficiency by taking an in-motion weight reading while freight is unloaded from vehicles.

The company claims that by utilising in-motion weighing technology the vehicle unloading process becomes up to 55% quicker when compared to weighing freight in a stand-alone area.
