One of the UK’s leading experts on manual handling and all things pallet trucks is advising those managing the equipment for factories, warehouses and other industrial settings to invest in a weighing scale pallet truck to save themselves time and money in the long and short-term.
Phil Chesworth, of Midland Pallet Trucks, one of the UK’s premier suppliers of pallet trucks of all types, has spoken out to encourage buyers to bring in weigh scale pallet trucks, in the wake of the launch of their brand new budget weigh scale truck, which is ideal for those integrating the new truck into their existing fleet.
He says, “A great number of businesses in industrial settings across the country use stationary weighing systems at specific points around their workplace, and a few even take weighing equipment on lease. Whilst this may seem like a simple and effective way to take measurements and calculate volumes of goods, having to cart goods to a specified area simply just to weigh them is actually costing them time and money. A budget weigh scale pallet truck can help streamline the entire process of weighing what is loaded onto a pallet, allowing quick and easy readings and removing the need to take a detour to a dedicated weighing station.”
Basic dial weigh scale pallet trucks are great for those who find that they need to record weights and measurements often, but want to restructure their working processes to make them more efficient. They are also incredibly budget-friendly; more so than hiring equipment, even if the circumstances dictate that weighing equipment is only necessary for a few weeks of the year. If a company needs to fulfil a special order and record weights of all goods involved in that order, it is far more cost-effective to utilise a budget weigh scale pallet truck, rather than renting out scales and weighing equipment every time.
If a company frequently uses weighing scales as part of their process, not investing in a weigh scale pallet truck can significantly hold back their progress and stunt productivity across the workforce. Adding at least one or two to their fleet can increase productivity greatly and allow for a greater volume of work to be undertaken at a much faster rate. Faster processing of orders for clients will equal a higher profit due to the extra work that can be carried out; investment in a high-quality weigh scale pallet truck can end up saving both time and money for the businesses as a whole, whilst making the jobs of the employees easier and giving a boost to the whole workforce.
