Applications

Shipping and Receiving
The accuracy of this system is usually sufficient for checking the weight of received goods to verify bill of lading weights and material costing for weight sensitive materials e.g. steel coils, paper stock, etc.

Shipping by truck can entail careful loading to ensure truck safety, road weight restrictions and safe axle loading including equal weight distribution upon the vehicle.

Manufacturing
Interdepartmental transfer of goods can be tracked by both weight and piece count to ensure appropriate loading upon production machinery. Inventory taking and tracing can be accomplished utilizing the fork lift truck with scale.

Steel coil usage industries
The leaf chain system has a greater accuracy when applied to weighing steel coils on a lift truck, especially utilizing a spear coil raiser. Steel coil industries take care not to over-handle the coils to prevent accidental damage, thus the one-time move and weigh feature of the Weigh Point system helps to safeguard the quality of the coil. In this competitive world cost is a key component, customers can check and compare invoice weights against lift truck weights to ensure correct supplier billing. Steel coil linear footage can also be determined with the Weigh Point system.

Paper roll/cardboard industries
Besides weighing consider the benefits of determining square footage by using the piece count feature of the Weigh Point scale; simply input the weight per square foot and the system will display the footage of the paper/cardboard roll.

Instant weighing without the wasting time of floor scale visits is an important aspect of all Weigh Point mobile systems.

Freight carriers
Reports of recovering the cost of the Weigh Point scale in just days provide good economical sense in a system for purchasing a LTL system (less-than-truckload)

Indeed, crossdocking entails no time for floor scale weighing so without a fork lift scale the customer's understated waybill weight goes undetected and the revenues rightfully owed the freight carrier - there likely isn't an easier way to raise the firms bottom line.

Highway fines for overloading and safe axle weights are important to truckers. The Weigh Point system accumulates individual liftweights to make a planned and exact weight placements on the truck.

Automotive Industries
There are many uses for the Weigh Point system in automotive plants, simply ask the logistics personnel.

• Receiving department
  - for weight and piece count verification
• Production department
  - for inter-department material transfer - piece counts
  - inventory taking both at period end and for real timepiece counting
  - the Weigh Point system has an RS232 output for printer or data accumulator
• Shipping Department
  -for waybill weight determination. Piece counting for filling customer order (verification)
• Truck loading for weight safety and highway low conformity

Chemical plant
The forklift scale has a built in setpoint that allows dispensing ingredients right from the lift truck.

Shipping and receiving will be pleased not to double handle sensitive materials, making one-step weighing indispensable.

Agriculture
Sod producers can readily determine square footage by inputting the weight per square foot into the scale microprocessor.

Spring and Wire Industries
Just try to count coils in a drum and you'll know why the Weigh Point lift truck scale piece counter makes good sense.

Incoming and outgoing materials need to be either weighed or counted to ensure expectations are met. There's also the idea of truck safety on the highway. Weigh Point ensures the truck's conform to highway weight safety codes.

Rent-A-Scale
Many industries will be pleased to have available for a short duration a Weigh Point fork lift truck scale.

Installation leaves the truck unmodified and takes a short time to attach.
