ShippingHow freight is paid for and tracked, as well as safely loading shipping containers and trucks. 

Thanks to advances in technology, products can be moved all over the world with ease and speed.  However, people rarely stop to consider what equipment determines how freight is paid for and tracked or what is used to safely load shipping containers and trucks per SOLAS requirements.

There are a variety of different types of scales built for weighing freight including floor scales, forklift scales, truck scales and rail road scales on the ground and overhead weighing equipment like crane scales, dynamometers and tension links used with lifting devices.  JP Bowlin offers multiple scale and weighing solutions that are heavy duty NTEP approved, legal for trade devices.
