Mobile scales: Flexible weight determination for logistics, industry and construction
Mobile scales enable precise weighing directly at the point of use – during transportation, on construction sites or in internal processes. Companies in logistics, industry, construction and the public sector use them to increase efficiency, save time and optimize processes.
What are mobile scales?
Mobile scales are location-independent weighing solutions that combine means of transportation such as pallet trucks, forklifts or vehicles with precise measurement technology. They record weights where they occur – without detours, waiting times or stationary scales.
Types of mobile scales and their applications
Weighing pallet truck – weighing while moving
Weighing pallet trucks combine transportation and weighing functions in one device. Ideal for:
- Pallets, pallet cages and barrels
- Logistics centers, warehouses and shipping departments
- Fast order picking with weight control
Forklift scales – efficiency in internal transportation
Forklift scales enable weighing while lifting. Advantages:
- Integration into the industrial truck
- Immediate weight recording without intermediate stop
- Perfect solution for high-bay warehouses and transshipment halls
RWV Autonom – The autonomous weighing solution
The RWV Autonom, for example, is a mobile, independently operating scale for maximum flexibility:
- No forklift connection required
- Autonomous navigation and precise weighing
- Ideal for complex logistics environments and Industry 4.0
Wheel loader scales – precision on the construction site
Wheel loader scales are specially designed for rough use in:
- Gravel works, building yards, recycling plants
- Determining the weight of bulk material (earth, sand, gravel)
- Directly during loading – without delay
Drum scales – Accurate for liquids and hazardous goods
Drum scales are compact, mobile and indispensable for industry:
- Precise weighing up to 300 kg
- often in incoming goods, production or filling
- Hygienic and robust for chemicals & food
Mobile axle load and wheel load scales – checking on the move
Mobile truck scales support authorities and companies with:
- Truck, bus and motorhome inspections
- Axle load measurements according to § 34 StVZO
- Weight recording at changing locations
Your advantages with mobile scales
Process optimization: weighing without detours – directly at the point of use
Cost savings: avoidance of unnecessary transport and downtime
Data integration: transmission via WLAN, Bluetooth or cloud
Sector diversity: can be used in industry, logistics, construction, agriculture and public authorities
