Many ideas and suggestions from employees, international customers, dealers and agencies, which, amongst other things, had been discussed in a workshop with the topic “The scale of the future”, are reflected in the prototype of the new wheel loader scale in the series WK60 (Fig. 1) that was presented for the first time. The new scale is scheduled to be ready for sale from 2014 and will be designed in a first step for the markets of intralogistics, agriculture and forestry as well as for the emerging countries. The new scale is characterized by the touch screen with an easy and intuitive operation like that of a smartphone as well as by the connection to the new PFREUNDT web portal.
