With Audio/Visual Overload Alarm
The 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. 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 large electronic analog (clock type) indicator.
No special operator training is required.
"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. If 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
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 SM-Series SkidWeigh with it’s bright LED light and buzzer alarm overload warning device, is factory set to 90% of the full indicator load range.
Installation
The SkidWeigh system, SM-Series can be installed and calibrated by a local forklift dealer or the end user’s forklift mechanic.
The overload visual/audio alarm set point can be set to any other value of th indicator dial range. Please specify other set point when ordering.
