Baxtran Pallet Truck Scales by Giropes – Accurate Mobile Weighing During Material Handling
Baxtran pallet truck scales, manufactured by Giropes, combine the functionality of a standard pallet truck with integrated precision weighing — allowing operators to weigh pallets and loads during normal material handling operations without the need for a separate floor scale. This eliminates double handling, speeds up goods-in and despatch workflows, and ensures accurate weight data is captured at the point of movement rather than as a separate process.
Giropes brings over 50 years of weighing engineering expertise to the Baxtran pallet truck scale range. Integrated load cells in the forks measure the load as it is lifted, with weight displayed on a clear indicator mounted on the handle for easy reading during operation. Tare and accumulation functions allow operators to subtract container weights and total loads across multiple pallets or drops, making them particularly effective for multi-drop deliveries, goods-in verification, and despatch weight compliance. Robust construction with stainless steel and powder-coated finishes ensures long-term durability in warehouse, logistics, and production environments. Trade-approved models are available for legal-for-trade applications including freight billing and commercial transactions by weight.

Frequently Asked Questions
How accurate are Baxtran pallet truck scales?
Baxtran pallet truck scales are designed for practical warehouse accuracy rather than laboratory precision. Typical accuracy is ±0.1–0.5% of the load, depending on the model and conditions. For legal-for-trade applications, trade-approved models meet the accuracy requirements of OIML Class III. For applications requiring higher accuracy, a dedicated floor scale is recommended for final verification.
Can Baxtran pallet truck scales be used for legal-for-trade applications?
Yes. Trade-approved models are available in the Baxtran pallet truck scale range, carrying OIML Class III approval for legal-for-trade applications including freight billing and commercial transactions by weight. Please check individual product listings or contact our team to confirm trade approval status for specific models.
How long does the battery last on a Baxtran pallet truck scale?
Battery life varies by model and usage intensity, but most Baxtran pallet truck scales are designed for a full working day of normal warehouse use on a single charge. Rechargeable batteries are typically charged overnight via a mains adapter. Check individual product specifications for battery life data.
Are Baxtran pallet truck scales suitable for cold store environments?
Many models are suitable for use in chilled and cold store environments. Check the operating temperature range in the individual product specification before purchasing for cold store applications. Contact our team for guidance on the most suitable model for your temperature requirements.
Is UKAS calibration available for Baxtran pallet truck scales?
Yes. UKAS-traceable calibration certificates are available on request. For trade-approved models used in legal-for-trade applications, periodic recalibration is required to maintain approval. Contact our team for calibration and service support.
