Retrofitting Your Electric Pallet Trucks Saves YOU a lot!
At the busy warehouse of SwiftLog Distribution, every second counted. Forklifts hummed, pallets rolled, and shipments left the dock like clockwork. But one Monday morning, things came to a screeching halt.
The loading team had just packed a truck bound for Seattle when the logistics manager, Clara, got a call:
“Clara, the shipment’s overweight! The truck’s at the weigh station, and it’s 900 kilograms over the legal limit!”
The driver had to unload part of the cargo, delaying delivery and costing the company money — and reputation.
Clara frowned. This keeps happening, she thought. We’re guessing pallet weights instead of knowing them.
The next week, she called a meeting. “We’re investing in electric pallet trucks with SkidWeigh SC5 scales,” she announced.
The team was skeptical. “Why do we need that? We already have a floor scale,” said Jonas, the lead picker.
Clara smiled. “Watch this.”
A new electric pallet truck arrived — sleek, powerful, and equipped with a sleek SC5 display on the cowling. Jonas lifted a pallet of boxes. Instantly, the screen flashed “743 kg.”
No walking across the warehouse. No waiting in line for the floor scale. No guessing.
Within a few weeks, things changed dramatically:
- Accuracy skyrocketed. Every pallet’s weight was recorded right when it was lifted.
- Time was saved. Workers didn’t need to move pallets twice just to weigh them.
- Safety improved. Overloaded pallets were caught before they were ever moved.
- Shipping costs dropped. Trucks were filled perfectly — never over, never under.
SkidWeigh SC and EP Electric Pallet Truck Scales
IVDT's Hydraulic pressure transducer technology makes it easy to turn any electric pallet trucks into a mobile weighing platform. The system easily installs in 2 hours and provides on the go weighing and safety solutions for a wide variety of industrial applications. The system calibrates in seconds and provides best in class accuracy.
Months later, Clara smiled again as she watched the smooth rhythm of her warehouse. Deliveries were on time, paperwork matched perfectly, and the drivers? They were happier too.
As Jonas joked, patting the new pallet truck,
“This little scale saved us a ton — literally.”
