In everyday industrial life, every square meter often counts – especially when ongoing operations must not be interrupted and the structural conditions are severely limited. This was precisely the case in the project with Sappi Papier Holding GmbH ➚ in southern Austria.
The site is characterized by dense development, interspersed with low pipe bridges, halls and a busy traffic lane. A classic solution with a concrete scale and elaborate construction site equipment? Not a chance.
Large construction equipment such as cranes or heavy construction vehicles would not have found access here.
The perfect opportunity for our flexible problem solver: the HE-TS 18 mobile truck scales for underfloor installation.
HE-TS 18: Precision in the tightest of spaces
Instead of a construction site with large vehicles and tools, all that was needed was a prepared pit – everything else was supplied by our HE-TS 18. In a painted version and integrated into a customized stainless steel trough, it could be brought in and installed directly on site with a forklift truck – quickly, space-savingly and without heavy equipment.
The advantages of this solution speak for themselves:
- No footprint required – can be driven over completely
- No crane required – transportable by forklift truck
- Easy to service – convenient access to the load cells from above via inspection flaps
- Clean integration into the existing traffic and plant structure
For systems in the paper industry in particular, where a precisely timed material flow is essential, such an uncomplicated yet highly functional solution is worth its weight in gold.



Sappi: Progress in every fiber – even when weighing
As one of the world’s leading manufacturers of high-quality paper and pulp products, Sappi is pursuing a clear course towards efficiency, sustainability and technological excellence. With the use of our HE-TS 18 underfloor scale, the existing loading infrastructure has been significantly modernized – without compromising on space or function.
Even little space can make great things possible
We are delighted to have implemented this project together with Sappi – and to have proven once again:
Even under the most difficult conditions, a precise solution can be realized with the right weighing technology.
Are you facing similar structural challenges? No space for classic scale solutions?
Then perhaps our HE-TS is the solution for you!
Feel free to get in touch with our scale builders – we will advise you competently, solution-oriented and with real enthusiasm.
