Rising fuel costs and related surcharges continue to increase trucking costs, so the last thing a shipping manager needs is additional fees for improperly reporting the weight of shipments. On top of that, strict adherence to truck arrival and loading schedules has shippers looking for ways to streamline shipment processing, while balancing the needs of producing safe, secure loads and keeping labor costs down.
That’s why a new integrated scale option for stretch wrappers has caught the attention of shipping managers across the country. The new EZ Weigh system from Lantech, Louisville, Ky., helps eliminate costly bill-of-lading (BOL) adjustments due to inaccurate weighing, and brings more efficient load preparation to customers’ warehouses and shipping docks, allowing them to meet increased demands during busy seasons without increasing labor costs. The patent-pending EZ Weigh option is integrated into the turntables of Lantech’s Q-Series semi-automatic stretch wrappers, making stretch wrapping and weighing a faster, more convenient one-step process.
