Key Considerations

As a supplier of ATEX scales we are technically competent to specify and maintain these types of trucks, it is a very important factor when choosing your supplier. We carry spare parts and all of our service engineers have experience to work on or off site in hazardous environments.

There are some key areas that you need to consider before purchasing an ATEX Pallet Truck Scale. In this short guide we will cover these items and help you towards your purchase of a ATEX scale.

Which ATEX Zone?

The number one priority when choosing an ATEX Pallet Scale is what zone that the unit is going to be used in, you may already know exactly which rating your area has. The onus on specifying what an area falls under is the end users responsibility, there are independent companies that can carry out ATEX zoning, on some occasions a relevant health and safety representative may know what you area is rated to. Our scales can be used in ATEX Zones 1, 2, 21 and 22, documentation and certification outlining their approvals is available upon request.

Stainless of Mild Steel Construction?

We offer two versions of each truck, a fully stainless steel unit manufactured from 304 stainless, this is ideal for areas where there are potential for spillages of corrosive liquids. A lower cost model manufactured from mild steel and finished with epoxy paint is suitable for solvents and dusty environments. 

Stainless Steel Forks?

A costly component is the optional stainless steel forks on mild steel models. Whilst we always recommend this option there are some industries or applications where they are not required. For customers who will be moving all types of pallets, IBCs and crates it is highly recommended that you choose this option, the risk of screws or nails that could potentially create a spark hazard if they became in contact with the chassis of the truck. For customers that will only be moving containers or pallets constructed of plastic, or non-sparking metals such as stainless or aluminium then it is not so critical to select the stainless fork option.

What Optional Spares?

For companies that operate 24 hours then we highly recommend a second battery pack, this will give you continual operation, while battery is in use the other can be charging in the safe area.

The parking brake option is good for customers who wish to stop the truck on slight inclines for filling operations and then moving between vessels, it is a good safety extra that will stop the truck from moving during any fill operations.

Why Choose ATEX Pallet Truck Scales from Scalesmart?

When you operate in hazardous or potentially explosive zones, standard weighing equipment simply isn’t enough. That’s where ATEX pallet truck scales from Scalesmart come in. These specialised machines combine heavy-duty logistics performance with rigorous safety standards, delivering precision weighing in demanding environments while keeping your workforce and site compliant and protected.

At Scalesmart, we’ve partnered with leading manufacturers—such as Dini Argeo—to supply pallet truck scales engineered specifically for Zone 1/21 and Zone 2/22 classification areas. These models are built to Ex II 2 G / 2 D or Ex II 3 G / 3 D standards, meaning they are fully ATEX-certified for use in explosive atmospheres containing flammable gases, vapours or combustible dusts.

Key Models & Features

Among our selection are standout units like the Dini Argeo TPWX2GD and TPWX3GD, tailored for Zone 1/21 & 2/22 or Zone 2/22 use respectively. These pallet truck scales are equipped with four IP68-rated load cells, sealed and built to withstand rigorous industrial conditions. Elevating the specification further, the TPWI “EX” series is crafted entirely in stainless steel, making it ideal for highly corrosive environments or wash-down zones.

Capacity ranges typically span up to 2 000 kg (and higher in some models) with fine resolution options (0.2 kg or 0.5 kg) and legal-for-trade variants available. Standard fork sizes (e.g., 1150 × 550 mm) ensure compatibility with standard pallets, while low-profile forks (≈ 85 mm height) allow smooth loading.

Built For Harsh Environments

These ATEX pallet truck scales are not only calibrated for explosive atmospheres — they’re engineered with durability in mind. Options include mild-steel construction with epoxy coating or fully stainless steel frames for food, chemical, or marine environments. The key optional upgrade is stainless steel forks, especially important if the forks might contact other metals or surfaces which could increase spark risk. (scalesmart.com) Firmware and electronics are designed for tough conditions: IP68-sealed indicators, membrane keypads for easy cleaning, battery-powered operation with swap-out packs, and long battery life (some models 150 hours +) for continuous operation.

Applications Across Industries

Whether your site handles flammable liquids, dusty ingredients, solvents, or heavy industrial loads, our ATEX pallet truck scales deliver both safety and performance. Typical applications include:

  • Chemical & petrochemical plants where vapours or gases may be present

  • Food processing facilities with flour or sugar dust

  • Pharmaceutical or biotech companies handling volatile solvents

  • Warehouses and manufacturing facilities operating in Zone 1/2 or 21/22 environments

Selecting the Right ATEX Pallet Scale

Choosing the correct ATEX pallet truck scale starts with identifying:

  1. Zone classification: Does your area fall into Zone 1/21 or Zone 2/22?

  2. Capacity requirements: How much will you be weighing and moving?

  3. Environment specifics: Are you dealing with corrosive atmospheres? Will stainless steel be necessary?

  4. Certification needs: Do you require legal-for-trade approval or bespoke calibration?

Our team at Scalesmart is ready to guide you through these questions and ensure the scale you purchase is properly specified, documented, and installed. We supply full certification, compliance documentation, and expert after-sales support so that you’re never left uncertain.
