Most warehouses in the United States have at least one pallet jack somewhere. An even greater luxury is to have a pallet jack scale that you can utilize. Sure you can always take a regular pallet truck or forklift and go find a platform scale. But if you have a pallet truck with built in scale, you just roll under the pallet, lift it up and get a weight!
These pallet trucks or pallet jacks or non motorized forklifts with scales built inside are actually very useful and are available in various fork sizes, max capacities, and brands. Some have printers. Some choices could be offered in stainless steel. Some choices could be legal for trade. Below I’m going to list my top four choices of the best pallet jack scales in America.

It is 100% based on past sales and how well the scales have worked once sold. I also like to work with scale manufacturers that I know are going to build their products to a certain level of quality. Other pallet jack scales that I might look at in the future include Optima, Adam Equipment, and Worldweigh but we don’t have a lot of sales experience with those brands so far.
