Scales and weighing equipment for Airfreight

Air cargo is essential to many areas of modern life. E-commerce, high-value specialized cargo and a recent growth in export trade saw air freight grow by 3.8% in 2016 – almost double the industry’s growth rate of the previous five years.

However, the increase in oil and fuel prices, increased security measures plus competition from other transport modes such as shipping, rail and increased belly cargo in passenger planes, all make it vital that air cargo is moved as efficiently and cost effectively as possible to continue the industry’s upward momentum.

Weighing scales and systems from Avery Weigh-Tronix can help to bill accurately and to load planes optimally.

When it comes to air freight, weight and volume are key factors. Airlines have strict regulations to ensure safe air travel – and accurate declared weight and size of freight is high on the list.

We can help you avoid delay or repack costs on air freight consignments, with our robust and reliable forklift truck scales, pallet or platform scales and mobile dimensioning devices.
