Overview

Whether shipping goods by road, air or sea, having accurate weight and dimension data is vital to charging correctly and protecting profitability. Having trade approved, robust weighing scales that integrate into your shipping systems can significantly reduce the time it takes to verify consignment weights and identify shipments that require a surcharge to be made.

As a freight forwarder, recovering lost revenue due to under-declared items is a critical challenge, and Avery Weigh-Tronix scales provide the ideal solution. Their robust construction and precise technology are perfect for freight handling environments, ensuring every item is accurately weighed, even under demanding conditions.

Undeclared or underweight items often lead to revenue losses, as they can bypass correct billing thresholds. By integrating Avery Weigh-Tronix scales into operations, you can identify discrepancies between declared and actual weights. This enables accurate billing and helps enforce revenue protection measures, ensuring costs are aligned with the true weight of shipments.

Avery Weigh-Tronix scales also help streamline processes, minimise disputes with shippers, and enhance transparency in weight verification. Investing in high-quality weighing solutions not only recovers revenue but also strengthens client trust and operational efficiency, making it a vital step toward sustainable profitability in freight forwarding.

Whether you choose a forklift truck scale, pallet truck scale or floor scale as part of your revenue protection strategy, the weighing equipment is incredibly robust and has been designed to withstand heavy industrial usage, overloads and the general abuse of a busy freight-handling environment.

With constant engineering development, plus extensive field testing, all Avery Weigh-Tronix weighing solutions consistently deliver reliable, fast and accurate weight readings, even in the harshest of environments.

For freight forwarders charging customers for under declared shipping costs, it is a legal requirement that the weighing equipment used is verified as ‘Legal for Trade’. As well as meeting legal requirements, legal for trade approval proves that your equipment can carry out repeatable weighing of goods and can provide accurate and auditable records.

In the case of a customer challenging a surcharge for under-declaration, using a weighing or measuring device that is not certified as ‘legal for trade’ would mean the absence of an audit trail and almost certainly no evidence to support the surcharge in question.

Avery Weigh-Tronix solutions come with fully trade approved status, and therefore has the required verification to apply customer surcharges.
