Measuring Pallets and Freight Accurately
Machines That Automatically Capture the Size and Weight of Parcels, Pallets and Consignments
If your business moves pallets, bulk freight, or oversized consignments, you know how challenging accurate measurement can be. Using tape measures, clipboards, or manual data entry slows down operations, introduces errors, and often leads to disputes with carriers.
More importantly, inaccurate freight dimensions can increase costs. Carriers bill by volumetric weight, meaning even small mistakes in recording pallet sizes can result in costly overcharges.
That’s why many warehouses, 3PL operators, and logistics providers are asking: “Is there a faster, more accurate way to measure pallets and freight?”
The answer is yes — with a parcel and pallet dimensioning system from Parcelcube.

Why Manual Freight Measuring Fails
Slow and inefficient: Manually measuring pallets takes minutes, not seconds.
Error-prone: Staff using tape measures or rulers often get inconsistent results.
Courier disputes: Carriers re-measure pallets and apply surcharges if your figures don’t match.
Wasted space: Inaccurate data leads to poor pallet stacking and warehouse inefficiency.
The Smart Way to Measure Pallets
The Parcelcube 1000 is a heavy-duty dimensioning system designed to handle freight and palletised goods. Using advanced laser sensors and a 4-load cell scale, it captures accurate dimensions and weight in less than a second.
Key benefits:
Fast measurement: Record pallet size and weight instantly.
Accurate data: Minimise disputes with carriers by matching their scans.
Integrated systems: Export data via CSV, XML, or HTTP to WMS, TMS, or ERP platforms.
Scalable operation: Ideal for busy warehouses, 3PL hubs, and freight operators.
Parcelcube in Action
Logistics companies: Measure inbound and outbound pallets quickly for accurate billing.
3PL providers: Eliminate costly re-billing from carriers by providing verified data.
Manufacturers: Ensure bulky goods are measured correctly before shipment.
Distribution centres: Use exact volume data to optimise racking and vehicle loading.
FAQs
Can the Parcelcube 1000 measure palletised freight?
Yes. The Parcelcube 1000 is specifically designed for larger items, including palletised consignments and bulky freight.
What’s the maximum pallet size it can measure?
It can measure objects up to 100 × 64 × 100 cm (39 × 25 × 39 in).
How fast does it capture dimensions?
The system records parcel or pallet dimensions in less than one second, far faster than manual methods.
Does it also weigh pallets?
Yes. With its 4-load cell weighing system, it can capture both dimensions and weight in a single step.
What’s the maximum weight capacity?
The Parcelcube 1000 can weigh items up to 40 kg (88 lbs). For heavier freight, we can recommend specialist weighing solutions.
Will it integrate with my existing systems?
Yes. Data can be exported in formats like CSV, XML, and HTTP, making it easy to integrate with WMS, ERP, or TMS platforms.
What if I ship smaller items as well as pallets?
The Parcelcube 900 is perfect for small to medium parcels, while the 1000 handles large freight. Many businesses use both systems side by side.
Can it reduce warehouse costs?
Absolutely. By capturing precise volume data, you can improve pallet stacking, vehicle loading, and storage planning — reducing wasted space.
Where is the Parcelcube manufactured?
Parcelcube systems are developed and built in Finland, ensuring high-quality engineering and reliable performance.
