METTLER TOLEDO® Parcel Scales Ideal for Low Weight Shipping Usage
Fast, accurate and economical parcel shipping scales ideal for end-users with PC-based manifest software and 70-pound or lower shipping needs.
COLUMBUS, Ohio (October 30, 2002) -- Accurate scales are a must for those businesses using national carriers to ship packages. But many carriers require customers to use expensive 150-pound capacity scales even though most shipped packages weigh much less. To serve this need, METTLER TOLEDO has added two new models to its Parcel Scale family. The PS15 and PS30 models are affordable, accurate parcel shipping scales designed specifically for lower weights. Both scales are compatible with UPS and other PC-based manifest shipping software programs and compliment the company's larger PS60 (150lb capacity) and the PS90 (300lb capacity) scales. The National Type Evaluation Program (NTEP)-certified scales also allow users to send commercial package weights electronically to controlling PC-manifest software and feature METTLER TOLEDO technology and a one-year warranty on parts and service.
With a quick setup and advanced GEOCAL(TM) calibration, the PS15 and PS30 are equipped for accuracy and implementing cost-savings right away. The rugged lightweight design of the compact scales lends itself to be easily used in connection with end-users' personal computer software programs. "Too many businesses don't need or want the expense of the larger 150-pound scales," says METTLER TOLEDO Product Manager Chris Gubitose. "The PS15 and PS30 scales meet their needs and budget. NTEP-certification assures accurate weighing and the simple display and keyboard eliminates operator confusion."
The PS15 and PS30 are equipped with a simple 120 VAC, 9 VDC wall mount power supply and a six-foot RS-232 serial interface cable. The RS-232 serial interface cable ensures a direct connection to your PC for use with carrier manifest software for transmitting weight data for labeling and retaining record of parcels shipped.
