Whether you call them pallet trucks, pallet jacks, or jiggers, these non-motorized forklifts are one of the most useful tools at the disposal of any warehouse or shipping and receiving employee. So it stands to reason that, when combined with another incredibly handy piece of equipment—the industrial scale—the pallet truck can easily become one of the most versatile implements in any storage facility.

While they come in plenty of different sizes, brands, and weighing capacities, not all pallet jack scales are created equal. Here are our staff picks for the five best pallet truck scales.

1. ADAM EQUIPMENT PTSplus 5000a PALLET TRUCK SCALE

As the most affordable pallet truck scale on this list, the Adam Equipment PTSplus 5000a is—to our surprise—one of the most durable scales of its kind. With its zero-radius handle, non-marking wheels, and 5,000 lb. capacity, this pallet jack scale will move throughout your facility with ease.

The PTSplus 5000a comes with an easy-to-read display that is IP66-rated for protection, capable of multiple types of weighing functions, and able to quickly connect to a PC or printer. Its 90-hour battery life means you won't have to worry about stopping in the middle of the workday for a recharge ever again.

2. RICE LAKE RL-HPJ HAND PALLET JACK SCALE

Streamline your weighing and transporting processes with the easy-to-use RL-HPJ from Rice Lake. This hand truck pallet scale is built to last with its powder-coated heavy-gauge steel construction, IP65-rated indicator enclosure, and stainless steel 5,000 lb. capacity load cells.

Effortlessly track shipping and receiving weights with an integrated digital indicator that provides a clear readout in any lighting condition. With 80-hour battery life and quick recharging, the Rice Lake RL-HPJ is always ready when needed.

3. CAS CPS PLUS PALLET JACK SCALE

The CAS CPS Plus is constructed with some of the most heavy-duty materials, including four shear beam load cells that provide exceptional stability, 5,000 lb. durability, and accuracy down to the pound. Powered by a long-lasting rechargeable battery, this hand truck scale's CI2001B indicator features a large, backlit LCD for easy readability.

Where this pallet jack scale stands out, however, is in the convenience department. With two built-in storage boxes, you'll always have the small hand tools and instruction manuals you need right within reach.

4. ANYLOAD NPS-68H-5Klb PALLET JACK SCALE

Unless you're new to the world of industrial scales, you're probably familiar with Anyload's lineup of quality equipment. Their NPS line of pallet jack scales is no exception, as they're constructed with mild steel for maximum durability and specialized polyurethane wheels for increased portability.

The NPS-68H-5Klb features a large LED display with six easy-to-read 1-inch digits. This pallet jack scale also offers several advanced functions, such as auto-idling, kg/lb. conversion, and automatic charging control of its built-in 6V/4Ah battery.
