Forklift Scale Systems to Weigh Without Interrupting Your Workflow
What Is a Forklift Scale?
A forklift scale transforms the forklift into a mobile weighing system, allowing operators to lift, transport and weigh a load as part of the same process. The scale is installed on the forklift carriage and sends weight information to an in-cab indicator.
Systems are available for loads up to 5,000 lb and use proven Weigh Bar® technology to maintain reliable weight readings under demanding operating conditions.
Unlike a stationary floor scale, a forklift scale does not require the operator to leave the normal material-handling route to obtain a weight. This can reduce extra travel, product handling and congestion around fixed weighing stations.
Avery Weigh-Tronix forklift scales use four proven Weigh Bar® weight sensors within a front-mounted scale carriage. The system measures the load on the forklift and sends the weight to an in-cab indicator. Depending on the selected system and indicator, weight information can also be stored, printed or transferred to other business systems.
How a Forklift Scale Works
- The forklift operator lifts the pallet or load.
- The scale measures the force applied to the carriage.
- The in-cab indicator displays the measured weight.
- The operator can associate the weight with shipment or operational information.
- The record can be stored, printed or transferred to another system.
- The operator continues directly to the load’s destination.
Stronger – the most durable forklift scale solution on the market
Warehouses and distribution centers require durable, high-performance equipment that can withstand demanding conditions. Avery Weigh-Tronix forklift scales are engineered for the toughest environments, constructed with heavy-duty metal plates and Weigh Bar sensors that eliminate fragile components like springs and hydraulics. The scale communicates wirelessly to the in-cab weight indicator, eliminating the need for cables which can get trapped in the hydraulics and be prone to regular damage.
Our rugged, patented design ensures long-lasting reliability, even when handling heavy, uneven, or off-center loads. Unlike traditional scales that are prone to damage from shocks, vibrations, or harsh conditions, our forklift scales are built to perform under constant use and can withstand up to 200% overload. With minimal maintenance required, businesses can reduce downtime and repair costs, keeping operations running smoothly. When it comes to durability, no other forklift scale matches the strength and resilience of Avery Weigh-Tronix.
Faster – the quickest weight transaction on any forklift scale
In logistics, speed is critical and using equipment that can provide the highest level of accuracy in the quickest time gives you a clear advantage. The FLSC and QTLTS forklift truckkscales from Avery Weigh-Tronix provide the fastest weight readings in-motion of any forklift scale on the market. Our on-board forklift weighing solution means there is no need to travel to a centralized point for weight recording, creating up to 4 x more efficiency within your operation. With less travel time, the safer your load becomes, as you reduce the risk of damage to the freight and improve the quality of your service. In addition, our patented WeighBar® technology allows us to produce the fastest and most accurate weight readings in the industry, with customers seeing speeds 3-5 times faster than other forklift scales on the market.
