Determine
your customer's general requirements for lift
truck on-board check weighing
If the weight readout accuracy of +/- .5%
to 1% of the maximum load capacity of the
fork lift truck is allowed for that particular
operation; then SkidWeigh is the solution
to your customer's needs |
|
What you
need to know about forklift on-board weighing /
overload warning systems
| Selecting
The Right System: |
There is a variety of on-board
scales and check weighing systems available
on the market offering an array of options
for companies seeking solutions to their
material handling productivity problems.
We will provide a guide to two of the
most prominent operating concepts, load
cell and hydraulic pressure weighing systems.
|
|
The most important
is to find what the customer really needs.
While most clients have a good idea of what
they want, they may sometimes have unrealistic
expectations of their material handling suppliers.
|
|
Find out more about your customer's
lift truck operating environment. This is
the most important information that will make
a difference between real world workable solution
or failure. |
|
Does your customer utilize
two different forks attachments during the
normal operation? If this might be a case
than you will need the system with two weighing
channels capability. |
|
Because orders received in
lower quantities are shipped out within 24
hours, there is no need to stock them. |
|
Everyone can sale you a forklift
scale. Not everyone will sale you a right
scale to match your customer needs, operational
environment or right application. |
Will
the vehicle be driven only inside the plant
or will the vehicle be driven outside as well.
For example, in a typical transportation loading
dock facility, there is a lot of dust and
the vehicle is constantly moving in and out
of the trailers. In some operational environments,
the vehicle might be going back and forth
from the freezer to the loading dock, which
would indicate that water and humidity are
present.
Knowing this type of information in advance
will influence our decision as to which type
of on-board system and accessories should
be recommend for that particular customer. |
| Things
To Consider Before Purchasing On-board Scale!
: |
Find out more about the
working concept for lift truck on-board
scale or check weighing system
|
|
Learn more about
degree of difficulty to install the system
into the vehicle |
|
Can installation / calibration
be done by local lift truck technician or
must be done by the supplier |
|
What technical specification
and data from lift truck dealer is required
to specify right unit, important |
|
Will on-board weighing system
work with a specific lift truck attachments |
|
Will on-board weighing system
work in wet, dusty environment or freezer
|
|
Total cost, including
the installation costs |
|
Find out the location
for the system installation ( Dealer, Customer
or Scale Supplier ) |
|
Calibrating procedures
|
|
Safety of the
installed components (Example: Leaf chain
load cells installation procedures) |
|
Check weighing
accuracy in relationship to vehicle lifting
capacity |
|
Are there any
loses of the vehicle lifting capacity, important
in high reach working facilities |
|
Warranty |
|
Return policy,
re-stocking charges |
|
Total weight of
the weighing system and it's components |
|
Shipping costs:
Important since some system will weigh a several
hundreds of pounds |
|
Serviceability
after sale |
|
Delivery times
|
|
Purchasing terms
|
| All
of the above should be investigated before
making the final decision on the appropriate
on-board scale or check weighing system. |

Why SkidWeigh System?
It all adds up to the best R.O.I. for you
customer :
Our products are designed on the working
concept based on the hydraulic pressure transducer
installed in lift circuit of the vehicle. As of
example, the ED2-Series line consists only of two
components, digital indicator and pressure transducer.
There is no operator input, no buttons to press.
System can be installed on any material handling
vehicle ( No hand pallet trucks or electric low
lift ), regardless of the power supply, for lifting
capacity up to 50,000 pounds or kilograms.

All of the SkidWeigh
models are designed as a "On-board Check
Weighing Systems". |
