PCE-PTS 1N is a heavy-duty, hand pallet truck, pallet jack, warehouse, dock or floor scale used to weigh industrial shipments up to 2000 kg / 4409 lbs / 2.2 Tons. Save precious time by weighing your pallets of merchandise right on the pallet jack. Eliminate the use of a forklift to carry pallets of items to a separate scale for weighing. Weigh your goods right at the dock during loading or unloading.
The hand pallet truck scale is a convenient way to save time and shorten work processes. These hand pallet truck scales can transport and weigh loads up to 2000 kg. For this purpose, four load cells are installed in the forks of the hand pallet truck scales, which form a weighing system with the evaluation unit.
Pallet trucks with scales are used wherever heavy and bulky loads need to be moved over relatively short flat surfaces. Regardless of their drive type, they significantly reduce the physical strain on workers. Heavy parts in warehouses, production and transport halls are often stored on pallets or in mesh boxes and can thus be easily moved to other locations with forklifts and pallet trucks. The fork of the forklift or pallet truck is simply moved under the respective pallet, the mesh box or storage container and then lifted. So no additional equipment or power is needed to load or unload the load. While forklifts are suitable for both floor and shelf storage, pallet trucks are a quick and practical solution for the objects stored on the floor.
For many applications, it is necessary to establish the current weight of the goods being moved and to document this if necessary. The pallet truck with scales can weigh the picked-up load directly when it is lifted for transport. When using the pallet truck scales, the weighing can therefore be carried out during the transport process, saving time and space. The scales are integrated into the pallet truck, require no separate floor space and are ready for immediate use.
In order to ensure that the pallet truck scales can be used in operation without any problems for all intended applications, the most important key data of the pallet truck and scales such as load capacity, weighing range and legal for trade criterion must first be taken into account during the search.
In addition, care must be taken to ensure that the design, dimensions, functionality and operability meet the requirements. If, after checking these criteria, several models remain on the shortlist, then the price-performance ratio, the availability of accessories and spare parts and the repair service should be taken into account when making a decision.

Special features of the pallet truck with scales
Pallet trucks with scales are available as calibrated or uncalibrated models. If the commercial goods, the price of which depends on the weight, are weighed, or if the verified scales must be used for other reasons, the user is obliged to comply with the specifications of the verification law. If the weight determination takes place depending on the gravity, the scales must be adjusted to the gravity value at the place of installation in accordance with its accuracy class. This is usually noted on the scales and in the associated papers.
The regulations of the verification law also include that the commissioning of the pallet truck scales for the measurements subject to verification must be registered by the operator with the locally competent verification authority. Before expiry of the verification period, the operator must also apply there for the appointment for reverification.
Many trading and production companies use pallet trucks for loading and unloading processes as well as for storing and distributing goods or materials. A pallet truck with scales is particularly useful where goods not only have to be moved but also weighed before or after transport. This applies to newly delivered goods as well as for preparing customer orders for shipment and in providing raw materials and parts for manufacturing. The weighing and transport functions of the pallet trucks with scales can of course also be used separately.
Trading and logistics companies
In trading and logistics companies, the pallet truck scales are used in goods receiving, shipping and in the warehouse and sales areas for weighing and moving goods at the ground level. For weighing, only the pallet truck needs to be moved and the material can remain on its place. Pallets and pallet cages stored on the floor can therefore be weighed directly at the storage location to determine what quantity is stored on or in them. In the case of several load carriers with the same articles, for example, it is possible to quickly check whether the quantity specified for them fits.
Industrial and craft enterprises
In manufacturing companies, the pallet trucks with scales are used, among other things, to move materials and goods in the production process. Weighing when picking up the load makes it possible to check the weight directly at the pick-up point. If the quantity does not match, something can be removed or added immediately. If the internal transports involve long distances or uneven roads, the pallet truck scales with electric drive are often used to reduce the physical strain on the user. At workplaces where heavy components are to be weighed and lifted to different heights for processing, lift table scales can be used. These can be continuously adjusted in height and have a large robust support surface.
Agricultural companies
In agricultural companies and farms, weight plays a major role not only in purchasing and sales. The dosage of feedstuffs and additives, seeds or fertilisers and yield control are also mostly carried out by weight. The pallet truck with scales allows convenient weighing of materials that are packaged and positioned so that they can be picked up with the fork of the pallet truck. After they have been weighed, crops, fodder, seeds or fertiliser can be immediately taken to the warehouse or place of use or for loading.
Whether in supermarkets, discount stores, specialist markets, production plants or wholesale, a single person is able to move even heavy weights safely and without much physical effort with the help of the pallet truck.
If the pallet truck with scales is used, the total weight can be read on these pallet truck scales immediately after picking up the load. This is practical for many applications as it allows refusing from the separate weighing.
When storing products and materials on storage platforms, there are limitations on the maximum load per square metre of storage area due to the load-bearing capacity of the structure. By using the pallet truck scales, it can be immediately recognised on the basis of the displayed weight whether the picked-up pallet may be placed in the intended storage space. If the weight is too high and no suitable storage space is available, part of the load can be removed immediately and distributed to the other pallets.
Lift truck scales with printer
In many companies, pallet truck scales are used to move packages that are intended for shipping. For this purpose it is often useful to use the pallet truck scales with printer. The determined weight can then be printed immediately as text and barcode on a receipt or sticker and attached directly to the package. In this way, the weight can be read or scanned immediately later and there is no need to weigh again.
Pallet truck scales with piece counting function
With the pallet truck scales that have a piece counting function, the parts inventory can be checked quickly and easily in floor warehouses where similar individual parts are stored on pallets or in storage boxes. The possibility of combining the weights of several load carriers via the sum function also simplifies the processes when compiling deliveries.
