01Why pallet dimensioning pays for itself
LTL and pallet-network carriers audit freight aggressively. When their dimensioner finds a pallet 10 cm taller than declared, the shipment is re-classed, re-priced and often surcharged — and the shipper has no record of their own to argue with. A pallet dimensioner at the outbound dock closes that gap: every pallet leaves with your measured dimensions and weight on file, matched to its shipment paperwork.
The same record earns money in two other places. Load planning stops guessing: planners see true pallet volumes before the vehicle is booked. And customer billing becomes defensible when you re-charge freight by measured volume instead of by estimate.
02The GS300 series
Three models cover the pallet measuring points in the current line-up. All three use overhead 3D vision to capture the load's bounding box while the pallet sits on the weighing base — no wrapping the load in measuring frames, no manual tape work.
GS300 pallet dimensioner models
| Model | Position in the range | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| GS300Max | Largest measuring envelope in the series | Seven-camera 3D vision rig; a third-party industry article reports a measuring range of 50 x 50 x 20 cm up to 250 x 250 x 300 cm, centimetre-level accuracy, maximum load 5 tonnes and weighing accuracy of 0.5 kg (third-party report, October 2026) |
| GS300Pro | Full pallet dimensioning system for freight docks | Pallet measuring system configuration for regular LTL outbound flows |
| GS300Min | Compact unit for smaller freight and tighter docks | Same one-stop measure-and-weigh workflow in a smaller footprint |
03How a pallet measuring stop works
The forklift sets the loaded pallet on the scale base inside the measuring frame and backs out. The vision rig captures the load from above and the sides and reconstructs the smallest bounding box — length, width and height of the load as it actually sits, including lean and overhang. The scale records the gross weight in the same stop. The operator confirms the shipment reference, and the record is stored and passed to your shipping documentation.
Irregular freight is exactly what the system is for: mixed cartons, drums and crated machinery rarely form a tidy cube, and the bounding box the carrier will bill on is the one the vision rig measures — not the tidy number a tape measure produces on the longest carton.
04Where pallet dimensioners sit in the flow
Outbound docks are the classic position — measure, weigh, label, load. Inbound receiving uses the same stop to verify supplier pallets against advance notices before put-away. 3PL operators run a pallet dimensioner as a revenue station, billing storage and handling by measured volume. If your freight flow continues into a parcel operation, the freight dimensioner page covers the wider freight range including the GS400 truck system, and the pallet measuring system page details the GS300Pro and GS300Min configurations.
