Marsden PT-500 Pallet Truck Scale

What is the PT-500 Pallet Truck Scale?

The Marsden PT-500 is a heavy duty, 2000kg capacity pallet truck scale. This pallet truck scale is perfect for moving and weighing most pallet types, particularly euro pallets, with low profile (78mm ground clearance) forks.

The PT-500 has an easy to use weighing indicator that has a bright red LED display. Additionally, the weight reading on the PT-500 can be switched from kg to lb.

What is the difference between the PT-500 and the PT-100?

The Marsden PT-100 and PT-500 are identical, except for their indicators.

The indicator on the PT-500 is plastic, with a large, bright LED weight display. The PT-100’s indicator is slightly different: Whilst still showing bright red LED weight readings, the indicator itself is IP67 stainless steel, making it more durable.

With more buttons on its indicator, multiple features of the PT-500 are slightly easier to access. The PT-500 has an accumulation function to tally up a number of weights - ideal for vehicle loading processes.

What are the advantages of pallet truck scales?

Pallet truck scales allow you to move goods as well as weigh them.

You can use pallet truck scales to weigh palletised goods before loading onto vehicles. The accumulation function on the scale can be used to totalise several weight readings and ensure you know exactly how much weight your vehicle is carrying, to comply with regulations.

Pallet truck scales save time compared to alternatives such as platform scales, as we demonstrate in this video.

Why should I choose the PT-500?

Choose the PT-500 for highly accurate weighing of palletised goods and when you wish to streamline weighing processes.

Most pallet truck scales have accuracy to 1kg - however, the PT-500 is far more accurate with weight readings to the nearest 500g. Weight readings are displayed as 32mm high, bright red LED digits on the indicator screen.

Four load cells in the pallet truck’s durable mild steel forks ensure you’ll always get an accurate weight reading. Other features of the PT-500 include a Counting function, allowing you to count multiple items on a pallet (great for stock/inventory control), and Accumulation, which allows you to add up the weights of several pallets. Accumulation is also great for ensuring your lorries are not overloaded. Tare allows you to remove the weight of the pallet if you just need the weight of your goods.

The PT-500 runs on a rechargeable battery which gives up to 40 hours’ continuous operation between charges. Additionally, a programmable auto power-off and indicator screensaver prolong the life of the battery further. An adaptor is supplied for charging.
