At RAVAS, we understand the importance of efficient logistics. For over 40 years, RAVAS has been a leader in the material handling industry as we are the pioneers of mobile weighing. Our mobile weighing solutions are fabricated to increase efficiency for a productive work environment. Determining shipping weights is crucial in logistics and material handling industries and must be observed with careful attention.
Shipping weights
Prevent overloads and unnecessary costs
Every company that ships goods need to know the most accurate weight of goods possible. Required by law, the shipper must declare the correct weight on shipping documents. Overloads and incorrect declarations can cause a lot of trouble. Determining shipping weights is probably the most common use of a hand pallet truck scale. It’s in the shipping department where time can be saved, and downtime can be eliminated by weighing on the go. Middle and smaller-sized companies seldom handle large numbers of pallets per day. However, efficient weighing in the shipping department offers other advantages as well. Shipping weights can be printed on a ticket with an order number, date, and time.
