The forklift is today’s most important internal means of transport for all kinds of goods and used in almost all companies.

So is there anything more reasonable than fitting this central device with a scale in order to avoid costly extra trips to a stationary platform scale?

For a scale that is, first, mobile, and second, highly accurate outweighs any stationary weighing system in many respects.

Advantages

  • No fork shoes with sensors, etc. and therefore robust, accurate and safe
  • LTS system available for nominal loads up to 2.5t, 5.0t, 7.0t and 8.0t
  • Quick-mount system available for nominal loads up to 2.5t and 5.0t
  • Average accuracy 1.0% of the loaded weight
  • Easy retrofitting to all forklifts with an FEM fork carrier bracket
  • Small mounted dimension
  • Extremely robust model, up to 100% overload-proof
  • No maintenance
  • 2 different operator panels
  • Easy to operate via keypads
  • Illuminated displays
  • Peripheral devices: Printer, large display unit, data transfer to PC
  • Time saved by short ways
  • Transport and weighing in one pass
  • Easy software calibration for any other weight
  • Pay-off within minimum time

Fields of application

  • Incoming and outgoing inspection
  • Weight check when loading and unloading vehicles
  • Weighing and mixing of raw materials in foundries, in the ceramic industry and similar operations
  • Weight-accurate storage in high-bay warehouses
  • Stock control and inventory in the warehouse

The quick-mount system “Quick-Tach”
