Taking the measure of pallets
August 1st 2008

A pallet measuring system from Mettler Toledo Cargoscan ensures large pallets are quickly and accurately measured at DHL's International Gateway in London Colney.

"Measuring large pallets is often very difficult using conventional technology, so their dimensions often have to be manually measured and recorded," explains DHL's international gateway manager Angus MacDougall.

The solution from Mettler Toledo Cargoscan was the CSN840 Pallet, a complete data capture system that automatically collects dimensions, weight and identification information from a pallet in under five seconds.

The standard unit can handle around 200 pallets per hour.
