Ohaus - Pallet Scales

• Weighing incoming raw materials in bulk.
• Checking the weight of outgoing palletised goods for dispatch.
• Monitoring ingredient quantities during batch production processes.
• Verifying waste material weights for regulatory compliance.

Typical capacity

Units in this class commonly range from 1,500 kg to 3,000 kg, though higher capacities are available.

Platform dimensions

Typically 1200mm x 1200mm to accommodate standard Euro pallets, with variations for other pallet sizes.

Power supply

Most units operate on mains power (230V, 50Hz, UK standard) with an internal rechargeable battery for portability.

Construction material

Often constructed from painted mild steel, with stainless steel options available for washdown environments.

Readability/Accuracy

Typically offers readability from 0.5 kg to 1 kg, suitable for general industrial weighing.

Display type

Commonly features an LCD or LED display, often with a backlit option for clear visibility in various lighting conditions.

• What is the primary difference between pallet scales and floor scales?

  Pallet scales are specifically designed with U-shaped or fork-shaped platforms to allow easy loading and unloading with pallet trucks. Floor scales typically have a solid, flat platform.

• Can this type of scale be used in a washdown environment?

• Is calibration required for used pallet scales?

• What kind of foundation is needed for pallet scales?

• Can these scales integrate with other systems?

Checkweighers are valued in food processing for reliable weight verification and compliance support. Buyers typically prioritise accuracy, speed, and ease of integration with existing production lines. When purchasing used units, inspecting calibration history, mechanical condition, and software functionality proves important. Industry sentiment favours models offering consistent performance, straightforward maintenance, and robust build quality. Durable construction and proven track records across multiple production environments remain key considerations for buyers assessing secondhand equipment.
