The Belgian waste management company uses the advanced RAVAS forklift scales for weighing incoming IBC’s that contain liquid waste materials. The weight of the load that the forklifts pick up, is continuously transmitted to a coordinator’s PC, via the company’s WLAN network.

Mobile truck scales on hand pallet trucks, warehouse trucks and forklift trucks
RAVAS manufactures and distributes mobile industrial weighing systems. This weighing is integrated in hand pallet trucks, warehouse trucks and forklift trucks. With our mobile scales, it is possible to weigh during transport. The mobile weighing systems, manufactured by RAVAS, help you improve logistics and production processes within your company.
Multiple benefits of using mobile industrial weighing systems
At RAVAS we integrate mobile weighing systems into vehicles for internal transport. This leads to multiple benefits. By using, for example, our mobile truck scales or our pallet truck scales, you can weigh your pallet during transport. When you transport the pallets, you immediately see the weight of it. Because of this it’s no longer necessary to drive back and forth to a fixed floor scale with every pallet or container. Because of this you save time, manpower and you improve the efficiency of your intra-logistics. With RAVAS’ mobile industrial weighing systems, you stay ahead in the business you are in.
