As calibration weights increase in size, quantity, and capacity, moving, storing, and handling them efficiently becomes increasingly important. Troemner offers two specialized options for laboratory and industrial weighing applications: Storage Weight Carts, which store, organize, and transport calibration weights, and Slab Weight Carts, which combine a calibrated heavy-capacity test weight with a mobile cart for scale calibration and verification.
Two Weight Handling Solutions, Two Different Purposes
Not every weight-handling challenge requires the same type of cart. Storage Weight Carts and Slab Weight Carts serve different needs.
The key difference is simple: a Storage Weight Cart holds and transports calibration weights, while a Slab Weight Cart is the calibrated weight itself. Storage Weight Carts are suited to storing, organizing, and moving individual weights and weight sets, while Slab Weight Carts bring a large nominal-value test weight directly to the scale.
Storage Weight Cart
A Storage Weight Cart is a customizable solution for storing, organizing, protecting, and transporting calibration weights. To meet your unique needs, the PVC insert is customized specifically for the individual weights and/or weight sets stored in the cart.
The customized layout keeps weights organized, easily accessible, and protected throughout storage and transport.
Key Benefits
- Integrated storage and transportation solution
- Holds and transports individual weights and/or weight sets
- Customized PVC insert
- Keeps individual weights and weight sets organized and readily accessible
- Simplifies transportation throughout a facility
- Durable stainless-steel construction
Ideal Applications
- Calibration laboratories
- Metrology laboratories
- Quality assurance departments
- Pharmaceutical facilities
- Manufacturing environments
- Facilities that routinely transport individual weights and weight sets between laboratories, departments, or testing locations
Slab Weight Cart
A Slab Weight Cart combines a calibrated heavy-capacity test weight with a mobile cart in one unit.
Unlike a traditional cart that transports individual weights and weight sets, the Slab Weight Cart is the calibrated weight. This allows users to bring a large test weight directly to the point of use, providing an alternative to cranes, hoists, and other lifting equipment for industrial scale calibration and verification.
Troemner Slab Weight Carts are available in capacities from 100 kg to 500 kg, with custom capacities and configurations available for specific application requirements.
Key Benefits
- Calibrated heavy-capacity test weight on wheels
- Cart itself serves as the test weight
- Brings the test weight directly to the point of use
- Reduces reliance on cranes, hoists, and lifting equipment
- Durable construction for demanding industrial environments
- Available in capacities from 100 kg to 500 kg
- Custom capacities and configurations available
Ideal Applications
- Industrial scale verification
- Floor scale testing
- Platform scale testing
- Manufacturing facilities
- Warehouses and distribution centers
- Heavy-capacity weighing applications
- Facilities looking for a mobile alternative to crane- or hoist-handled test weights

Which Solution Should You Choose?
Choosing between the two comes down to whether you need to manage multiple individual weights and/or weight sets or use the cart itself as a test weight.
Choose a Storage Weight Cart If You Need:
- Storage for multiple calibration weights and weight sets
- A customizable PVC storage solution
- Better organization of individual weights and weight sets
- A convenient way to transport calibration weights throughout your facility
- An integrated calibrated weight along with storage for additional weights
Choose a Slab Weight Cart If You Need:
- A large calibrated heavy-capacity test weight on wheels
- An alternative to cranes, hoists, or other lifting equipment
- A mobile solution for heavy-capacity weighing and scale testing
- Custom capacities from 100 kg to 500 kg or application-specific designs

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Storage Weight Cart?
A Storage Weight Cart is a customizable weight-handling solution designed to organize, protect, and transport calibration weights. The Storage Weight Cart itself is a calibrated weight and provides storage for additional individual weights and/or weight sets.
What is a Slab Weight Cart?
A Slab Weight Cart combines a calibrated heavy-capacity test weight and mobile cart into a single unit. The cart itself functions as the test weight.
What is the main difference between the two?
Both products are calibrated weights. A Storage Weight Cart combines a calibrated weight with storage for additional individual weights and/or weight sets, while a Slab Weight Cart is a dedicated calibrated heavy-capacity test weight designed for scale calibration and verification.
Can Storage Weight Carts be Customized?
Yes. Storage Weight Carts feature customizable PVC inserts with individual compartments configured for specific weight sets and application requirements.
Can a Slab Weight Cart Reduce the Need for a Crane?
In many applications, a Slab Weight Cart can reduce reliance on cranes, hoists, or other lifting equipment when moving heavy-capacity weights. The appropriate approach depends on the weight capacity, application, and facility requirements.
Is the Slab Weight Cart the Calibrated Weight?
Yes. A Slab Weight Cart is manufactured as a calibrated heavy-capacity test weight, so the cart itself serves as the test weight.
Who Uses These Products?
Storage Weight Carts and Slab Weight Carts are commonly used by calibration laboratories, manufacturers, quality departments, metrology professionals, and industrial weighing operations.
