The SM-Series SkidWeigh
System is an electronic device that can be
installed on any forklift truck in order to
convert it into a mobile check weighing scale
with overload warning.
Every time a skid is picked up, the hydraulic
pressure on the forklift is automatically
activated and converted to a weight measurement
and presented to the operator visually via
a LED digital indicator.
The Overload warning will be activated when
pre-set weight overload threshold value has
been reached.
The newer ED2-SM Series is a digital version
of the vehicle overload warning system. |

"If
you can read a watch and tell time, you can operate
SkidWeigh"
Step 1. Pick
up a skid and read the weight shown on the indicator.
Step 2.
Compare the indicated weight against the
reported weight and immediately make a decision:
A. f the weight variance
is within the acceptable company level, then the
skid can move on to a destination trailer or holding
area.
B. If the weight variance
is over the acceptable company level, then the skid
is moved to the "Legal For Trade" floor
scale for verification and creation of a scale ticket.
Load And Vehicle Stability :
One of the most important elements to know about
a forklift is the rated load capacity. It is defined
as the maximum weight of material that can be handled
on the forks at a specific load center.
When the weight of the load is not clearly marked,
the standard practice is to lift the load off the
ground and get a "feel" if the vehicle
is stable. This becomes a problem when unknown skid
weights are picked up from the storage racks at
various forks heights and mast angles.
Solution :
The ED2-SM-Series SkidWeigh with it’s bright
LED light digits alarm overload warning device is
factory set to default overload value of 5000.
Installation
:
The ED2-SM Series SkidWeigh can be installed and
calibrated by a local forklift dealer or the end
user’s forklift mechanic. |
