Forklift Scale: Advanced indicator, +/-0.5% Accuracy of machine capacity

The ‘CHAIN LOAD CELL SYSTEM’ is a simple and versatile scale that is suitable for most forklifts, reach trucks, stock
pickers and side loaders.

The system is capable of sensing weight with an amazing ±0.5% accuracy of machine capacity.

The 'Weightmaster' indicator is our premium model featuring advanced functionality including add in, subtract out, total and auto add. The indicator displays the weight reading of any lifted load on an easy-to-read backlit LCD screen, and its intuitive functionality make this unit an operator-friendly choice.

With this scale fitted to your machines, the operator can get an instant weight reading of any lifted load, meaning no need to deviate from their working path to weigh loads on a platform scale or weighbridge.

The ‘Chain Sensor System’ is compatible with a range of peripheral devices such as printers and safety devices including alarms and lock-out devices to help improve safe operation in the workplace

HOW THE "CHAIN LOAD CELL SYSTEM" WORKS:
The ‘Chain Sensor System’ load cell is fitted as a replacement link in the lifting chains of the forklift. When a load is lifted, the load cell senses the tension in the chain and sends data to the indicator mounted near the controls. A weight reading is then displayed on the indicator for the operator to view.

ADD-ONS:
PRINTER AND ALARM OPTIONS (sold separately):
AWE offers a range of additional accessories which can be paired with the Safe Weigh instrument. These accessories
help customise your scale to better suit your workplace applications. Our safety accessories are a great solution to
prevent machinery overloading by operators - an event which can have serious consequences to machinery and operators.

- Blue Tongue 2.0 Printer: Produce hard copies of your weight readings with this compact printer. Comes with a swivel mount allowing easy mounting in your cabin. It is hardwired to your machine so no need to ever change batteries.

- Hydraulic Bypass: The ultimate safeguard against overloading you forklift. When a lifted load exceeds the forklifts capacity, the forklift will stop lifting - only allowing the load to be lowered. The capacity ratings are adjusted based on load centre principles.

- Red Light / Overload Alarm: A red light and/or audible alarm can be fitted to your scale as an extra safety device. These features are activated when the forklift exceeds the safe working load to alert an operator.
