Who uses the 1100 and for what
The Ravas 1100 is used by warehouse workers, logistics managers, and shipping personnel in distribution, manufacturing, and wholesale contexts. The main applications are weight control upon goods receipt, compilation of shipping documents, and prevention of overloads on outgoing pallets. Its resistance to impact, vibration, and water (IP65/IP67) also makes it suitable for operations on loading docks, open yards, and production environments with dust or humidity. A documented case is its use by CryoTechnics Cleaning Solutions for dosing highly volatile dry ice directly during container filling.
Its place in the Ravas range
The Ravas 1100 is the entry-level model in the Ravas range of manual weigh pallet trucks. It offers basic functions at an affordable price, powered by standard batteries without a rechargeable battery. The next model, the Ravas 3200, adds automatic and manual tare, Bluetooth connectivity, a 75-hour Li-ion battery, optional multirange graduation, and OIML approval for weight-based invoicing. The Ravas 5200 introduces a 5-inch touchscreen display, RS232/USB/WiFi connectivity, and customer-programmable functions. For weighing needs with high-frequency dosing or WMS integration, the correct starting level is the Ravas 3200.

Professional applications
Incoming goods control: the pallet truck detects the weight of each incoming pallet during the same handling cycle, eliminating the double pass to the floor scale and reducing reception times.
Compilation of shipping documents: gross and net weight are read directly on the display during shipment preparation, with the possibility of progressive totalization with a sequence number for the loading list.
Overload prevention: real-time reading during handling allows identifying out-of-spec pallets before they reach the carrier or transport vehicle.
Dosing in production: with the 0.5/1.0 kg multirange option and integrated thermal printer, the 1100 can be used for dosing bulk products into containers on pallets, as documented in the CryoTechnics application for dry ice.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can the Ravas 1100 be used to invoice customers based on the measured weight?
No. The Ravas 1100 in its standard configuration is not OIML approved for commercial transactions. For weight-based invoicing, the Ravas 3200 in the approved version is required.
Legal approval requires a specific version with a fixed battery, alibi memory, and certified calibration. The Ravas 1100 is suitable for internal weight control, compiling non-fiscal shipping documents, and preventing overloads.
How long does the Ravas 1100 battery last in standard daily use?
With 4 standard AA alkaline batteries and approximately 5 uses per day, the manufacturer's indicated duration is about 1 year. In the version with a fixed battery (approved), the autonomy is about 35 hours of continuous weighing.
The automatic shutdown function after 3 minutes of inactivity helps preserve battery charge. The batteries do not require a dedicated charger and can be immediately replaced with any standard AA alkaline battery, without operational interruption.
Is the Ravas 1100 water-resistant: can it be used on docks or outdoors?
Yes. The load cells have IP67 protection class (temporary immersion) and the indicator has IP65 class (water jets from any direction). The pallet truck is suitable for harsh conditions and outdoor use.
Cleaning with low-pressure water is permitted. High-pressure washing with hot water or chemical detergents, which can compromise the seals, is excluded. In environments with intensive cleaning with chemical agents, the Ravas 1100 INOX stainless steel model is recommended.
Is it possible to print weighing data directly from the Ravas 1100?
Yes, but only as an option: the Ravas 1100 is available with an integrated thermal printer as an optional accessory. In the standard configuration, the printer is not included.
The integrated thermal printer prints the gross weight, net weight, sequence number, and progressive total of weighings. No data communication outputs (RS232, Bluetooth, or USB) are available on the 1100 model: for data transmission to the WMS, it is necessary to switch to the Ravas 3200.
What is the actual accuracy of the Ravas 1100 and under what conditions is it achieved?
The guaranteed maximum deviation is 0.1% of the measured weight, within the temperature range of -10 to +40 °C. Outside this range, the deviation can increase up to 0.3%.
Maximum accuracy is achieved with the load positioned centrally between the forks and with the forks in a horizontal position (maximum inclination 2°). With non-centered loads, the forks tend to twist, introducing additional errors. In approved versions, the level control automatically disables reading beyond 2° of inclination.
What options are available for the Ravas 1100 beyond the basic configuration?
The verified options are: integrated thermal printer, multirange option with 0.5/1.0 kg division, stainless steel version (Ravas 1100 INOX) for humid environments or with intensive chemical cleaning.
The INOX version has a completely stainless steel frame and is recommended for the food, pharmaceutical industries, or in environments with frequent washing. For data connectivity, piece counting, or OIML approval requirements, higher models in the Ravas range should be considered.
