Commercial and industrial operations all over the world use lift trucks, also referred to as forklifts, on a daily basis to get their jobs done. Many of these operations rely on accurately measured and recorded weight data, especially when moving large amounts of product or materials. Lift truck scales are a weight management scale system that can be built directly into the forklift, practically removing the necessity of bringing material to a static floor scale to collect weight data. These onboard scale systems use a hydraulic sensor to measure the resistance of whatever the lift truck is carrying, collecting accurate weight data in real-time. In most cases, this is put to use in operations where large amounts of product or materials are loaded into or out of cargo vehicles or warehouses.
