In fast-paced warehouse and logistics operations, every second counts. Whether you're managing inbound freight, fulfilling orders, or tracking inventory, time spent moving pallets to a static floor scale can quickly add up. That’s where RAVAS onboard forklift scales make a game-changing difference — streamlining workflow, increasing productivity, and improving real-time accuracy.
Let’s explore how RAVAS forklift scale systems are helping companies cut weighing time in half and revolutionize material handling processes.
What Are RAVAS Forklift Scales?
RAVAS develops mobile weighing solutions that integrate directly into your existing forklift or pallet truck. These systems turn ordinary lift trucks into weighing machines on wheels, allowing operators to weigh loads as they lift — no additional handling required.
Instead of transporting pallets to a fixed scale station, the weight is instantly measured at the point of pick-up. The result? Faster decision-making, fewer touches, and greater operational efficiency.
Save Time — Every Time
The most obvious advantage of RAVAS forklift scales is time savings. Traditional weighing methods require forklifts to:
-
Pick up the load,
-
Drive to the floor scale,
-
Weigh it,
-
Record data, and then
-
Continue transporting.
With RAVAS, all of that happens during the lift itself.
🔹 Example:
A facility that weighs 100 pallets a day can save hours daily by eliminating travel time to a stationary scale.
Real-Time Data Where You Need It
RAVAS scales are equipped with digital displays and optional wireless connectivity, allowing instant data transmission to warehouse management systems (WMS), ERP platforms, or handheld devices. This improves:
-
Inventory accuracy
-
Shipping validation
-
Load compliance
-
Traceability
With real-time weighing, errors like overloading, underfilling, or shipping inaccuracies are caught before they cost you.
Boost Safety and Compliance
In many operations, staying under legal load limits is not optional — it’s a matter of safety and regulatory compliance. Onboard scales help prevent:
-
Overloaded trucks
-
Imbalanced pallets
-
Risk of fines or accidents
By providing instant feedback at the point of handling, RAVAS systems help ensure each load stays within safe parameters.
Reduce Equipment Wear & Tear
When forklifts make fewer trips to remote weighing stations, you're also reducing:
-
Fuel/electricity consumption
-
Tire and component wear
-
Traffic congestion inside the facility
Over time, this translates into lower maintenance costs and longer equipment life, all while maintaining speed and precision.
Ideal for a Wide Range of Industries
RAVAS mobile weighing systems are trusted by:
-
Food and beverage warehouses
-
Pharmaceutical distribution centers
-
Retail fulfillment hubs
-
Manufacturing facilities
-
Shipping and receiving departments
Wherever pallets are moved, RAVAS scales make a measurable impact.
Final Thoughts: A Smarter Way to Weigh
If your warehouse is still depending on stationary scales, it's time to rethink that process. RAVAS onboard forklift scales empower your team to work faster, safer, and smarter — all while reducing operational costs.
By cutting weighing time in half and integrating seamlessly into daily logistics, RAVAS helps you transform your forklifts into data-driven, productivity-boosting assets.
