An apparatus for transporting and weighing articles while in motion including a base structure and a driving mechanism, connected to the base, for contacting an article along a first surface and transporting the article along a transport path. A vertical support baffle, connected to the base, is configured to contact the article along a second surface and guide said article along the transport path. A weighing mechanism is connected to the base, and the driving mechanism is configured to calculate the weight of the article as it is moved along the transport path. The present invention also includes a method for moving and weighing articles including the steps of moving the article along a transport such that the transport is coupled to weighing mechanisms. The weight of the article is then measured.
