New Forklift Scale Systems By Avery

Avery Weigh-Tronix LLC, Fairmont, Minn., has introduced the FLSC and QTLTSC Forklift Scale Systems as new additions to the company’s line of weighing solutions.

Each system features two metal plates paired with Avery Weigh-Tronix’s Weigh Bar electronic weight sensors. The system’s design has no flexures, hydraulics or springs.

The FLSC is designed for use with Class II forklifts and certified for weighing loads of up to 5,000 pounds. The FLSC offers a wireless scale carriage option, ideal for triple-mast forklifts and stock pickers or environments where cabling may be easily damaged.

The QTLTSC is designed for Class III and Class IV forklifts and features a QuickTach scale carriage that attaches to an existing forklift carriage.

Both systems are specially manufactured to withstand jolts and frequent, heavy loads common in warehouse and plant environments. The FLSC and QTLTSC electronically measure the load and convey the collected information to an embedded summing box. The data is then passed along to one of two new in-cab instruments. The FLI 425 features a 7-inch TFT color LCD touchscreen display, while the FLI 225 is compactly sized and ideal for simpler scale transactions.

“In busy distribution centers and manufacturing plants, weighing can be considered too time consuming to be cost effective, yet the alternative method of estimating costs can cost businesses millions in revenue each year,” says Don Halbert, global product manager, Forklift Scales at Avery Weigh-Tronix. “The FLSC and QTLTSC Forklift Scale Systems capture weigh data en route, without any extra steps or delays due to waiting for scale access. In addition, the systems incorporate sophisticated design features to weigh accurately under virtually any condition.”
