Summary

Freight weights are often understated on bills of lading resulting in reduced revenue earnings for the actual weight being transported. The greater the weight discrepancy and the greater the distance of haul, the greater the revenue loss!

Today's fast paced working schedules combined with high shipment volumes make it impossible to verify and re-weigh the freight on the floor scales.

The dock foreman and their crews are well aware of the problem, but view their basic tasks as work enough, everyone recognizes a problem, but nobody ^"in house" has so far supplied a workable solution.

Well we have one, the SkidWeigh System a universal mobile weight checker.

Mobile Freight Weight Checker

SkidWeigh is an electronic device that can be fitted on any forklift to convert it into a mobile scale. Every time a skid is picked up, SkidWeigh is automatically activated by the hydraulic pressure on the lift forks and converted to a weight measurement (kg or lb). This measurement is immediately displayed to the operator on an digital indicator head during normal operating conditions.

No special training is required.

" if you can read a watch and tell time, you can operate SkidWeigh "

SkidWeigh Uses:

In the transportation and warehousing industry wherever forklifts are used to move products that require weighing or weight checking.

Cross checking shippers bills for reported freight weight versus actual weights to recoup lost revenues.
Progressive weight checks as trailers are loaded for either axle weights or payload weights.
In manufacturing, checking end product weight or cross checking suppliers raw material weights.
Weight checking any expedited operation that involves the movement of any products by forklift truck.

Three Easy Steps Is All It Takes!

1. Pickup a skid and read the weight shown on the bill of lading

2. Compare the actual weight indicated on SkidWeigh against the reported weight on the bill of lading. If the weight variance is over the acceptable company level, move the skid to "Legal For Trade" floor scale for verification and creation on a scale ticket.

3. Follow the same procedure on multiple skid shipments, processing the paperwork and attaching scale tickets to the bills of lading for subsequent weight correction and corrected billing.

SkidWeigh System Benefits and ROI Analysis

Based on a freight weight charge of $10.00 per 100 lbs and with a weight recovery program of only 1,000* lbs per forklift, per working day; your company revenue can increase approximately $25,000.00 per forklift per year.

This equates to a return of ten times your investment cost for the first year. Payback can be as little as four weeks, depending on the shipping practices of your customers and your timing and approach to recouping these lost revenues.

Obviously the more forklifts equipped with SkidWeigh, the greater the potential return.

If it takes 10 forklifts to handle your dock volume and you have only one unit equipped with SkidWeigh, you could be missing out on 90% of your potential recovery revenue.
