Scales for Forklift Trucks
Several manufacturer offers OEM built-in scale in the forklifts which can provide functionality partly on the customers' requests.
Scales of Forklifts can be divided into two groups:
One is weighing systems where weighing procedure is based on
hydraulic pressure in the llifting cylinder. These systems morely do static
weighing while forklift stand still but more advanced version are able to
measure load by driving it giving more comfortable and fast operation.
The loadcell versions of scales have legal for trade accuracy by using
special forks on the truck with included loadcells. Weighing datas are
transmitted wireless to the display unit in the cabin.

RDS Loadmaster a100 R&D MID - legal for trade dynamic weighing system
Where leag for trade weighing is in request we offer the most advanced Topcon product for forklift truck: the Loadmaster Alpha 100 R&D.
A dynamic on-board weighing system for forklifts that meets SOLAS Method 2 requirements.
LOADMASTER a100 has been designed to operate within the fastest loading environments and in the toughest of conditions, providing the weight of cargo to be packed into a container. LOADMASTER a100 is an automatic catch weighing instrument, MID class Y (b) type approved. Features SQL database with XML data output for integration with Terminal Operating Systems.
The RDS LOADMASTER a100 uses a 7” colour, resistive touch screen display and additional physical keys providing a modern and ergonomic operator interface.
The system can be retrofitted onto forklifts with no major modifications required to the
machine.
The system measures hydraulic pressure. The pressure signals are captured and filtered through a weighing ‘arc’ provided by reference and direction sensors.
All signals are processed in the RDS Smart Box and the resultant weight calculation is sent to the terminal mounted in the cabin.
SQL database capability with up to 8 reference fields provides virtually unlimited inputs of products, customers, trucks, hauliers, locations, destinations, mix blends and notes.
Video input for switching head unit into reversing camera mode removes the need for additional screen, releasing valuable cab space.
Main advantages:
-
Colour touch screen display - Clear, uncluttered display provides intuitive operation
-
Hydraulic oil temperature compensation option - Accurate weight information within normal operating temperatures.
-
Target load - Set individual product target. Ensure correct loading.
