Heavy-Duty Electric Pallet Truck with Built-In Scale — 4,500 lb Capacity with Battery & Rider Platform Options
The Vestil EPT-2547-30-SCL Electric Pallet Truck with Scale combines the productivity of a fully electric pallet truck with the convenience of a built-in LCD weighing scale — letting operators verify inbound and outbound pallet weights right at point of movement without separate floor scales, shipping scales, or trips to a centralized weighing station. With 3,000 lb load capacity, 25" × 47" forks, 24V DC drive and lift motors, and your choice of wet-cell or AGM battery configuration, this scale-equipped pallet truck is the standard tool for shipping/receiving operations, 3PL warehouses, recycling facilities, manufacturing QC, e-commerce fulfillment, and any operation that needs weight verification integrated into pallet movement workflows.
Built-In LCD Weighing Scale: The integrated scale displays weight in 1 lb increments within the truck's rated capacity, with 1/2" high LCD characters readable from operator position. Five function keys handle every common weighing task: ZERO (reset to empty), TARE (subtract container weight), NET/GROSS (toggle between net and gross weight), PRINT (send weight to external printer via RS232 port), and LB/KG (toggle measurement units). The scale display operates on 6 standard AA batteries (separate from the truck's main 24V drive battery), keeping the scale functional even when the truck is being charged. An RS232 serial port allows connection to an external scale printer (see optional EPT-SCL-PT accessory) for printing weight tickets, shipping labels, or audit records directly from the truck.
⚠️ Scale is NOT NTEP Approved — Verification Use Only: The integrated scale is NOT certified by the National Type Evaluation Program (NTEP) and is NOT legal for trade transactions where weight determines price (such as scrap metal buying by the pound, freight billing by weight, or recycling buyback operations). The scale is intended for internal weight verification, inventory tracking, shipping confirmation, QC checks, and process control. For legal-for-trade weighing applications, you'll need a separate NTEP-certified scale.
Battery Configuration Options: Choose the battery type that fits your operation:
-
Wet-Cell Battery + Walk-Behind (EPT-2748-45-SCL): Standard configuration. Lower cost. Operator walks alongside the truck.
-
AGM Battery + Walk-Behind (EPT-2748-45-SCL-AGM): Maintenance-free sealed battery. Operator walks alongside the truck.
-
Wet-Cell Battery + Rider Platform (EPT-2748-45-SCL-RP): Standard battery with stand-on rider platform for faster travel.
-
AGM Battery + Rider Platform (EPT-2748-45-SCLRPAGM): Maintenance-free battery with stand-on rider platform — the premium configuration.
Rider Platform Option (RP): The Rider Platform variants (EPT-2748-45-SCL-RP and EPT-2748-45-SCLRPAGM) include a fold-down operator platform on the back of the truck — letting the operator STAND on the truck and ride at travel speed rather than walking alongside. Rider platforms dramatically increase throughput for operations with long travel distances between pickup and drop zones (large warehouses, distribution centers, dock-to-storage runs). Walk-behind operation is still available when not in use. The RP option is only available on the 4,500 lb capacity units — buyers needing this productivity feature on lighter-capacity trucks should consider a separate configuration.
Productivity & Safety Features: Operators control everything from the multi-function ergonomic handle — fingertip raise/lower buttons for the electric lift, infinite-speed throttle for precise forward/reverse drive control, audible horn for personnel awareness, proprietary safety-enhancing emergency reverse function, and the safety belly reverse button that prevents operator pinning against walls or equipment. The electromagnetic disc brake includes an automatic dead-man feature that engages the brake instantly when the operator releases the handle — preventing runaway pallet truck incidents in unattended scenarios. High-torque 24V DC drive and lift motors handle heavy-duty continuous operation, and reinforced welded forks with adjustable tie-rods deliver long service life under daily commercial use.
⚠️ WORKS ONLY WITH OPEN-BOTTOM SKIDS: The EPT-SCL truck is designed for open-bottom skids and pallets. It does NOT work with closed-bottom pallets, bottom-deck pallets, or pallets without through-access for the forks. Verify your pallet type before purchase — incompatible pallets will not engage with the truck's lift mechanism.
