Lift Truck Scale (Certified) Brochure
Weighing does not always have to be an added step. It can be an unobtrusive
part of your standard process. Add the Weigh-Tronix QTLTSC (QuickTach Lift Truck
Scale, Certified) to your lift trucks, and remove the extra time and traffic
involved in making trips to and from the floor scale.
Why a legal for trade lift truck scale?
For centuries, weight has been the standard of value in the majority of
commercial endeavors. Grain, minerals, livestock, gems, produce, building
materials, manufacturing components�all are, measured, controlled, dispensed,
bought and sold by weight.
In almost every operation there is someone who figures out that weighing is an
extra process. It takes too much time. It is easier to guess than to make an
extra trip to a scale. Such guessing costs manufacturers, shippers and other
businesses millions of dollars every year. Receiving goodswithout double
checking documented weights is an easy way to mismanage inventories of raw
materials. If shipping is your business, do you take it for granted that your
customer furnished you with correct weight documentation. If your freight
handlers make that mistake by skipping the weighing process, they will cost you
a lot in lost revenues.
Weighing does not always have to be an added step. It can be an unobtrusive part
of your standard process. Add the Weigh-Tronix QTLTSC (QuickTach Lift Truck
Scale, Certified) to your lift trucks, and remove the extra time and traffic
involved in making trips to and from the floor scale. As your driver picks up a
pallet, the Weigh-Tronix Lift Truck Scale automati-cally weighs product giving
you critical cost controls with no extra steps.
The Weigh-Tronix QTLTSC pays back fast.
Unloading trucks - Confirm that the quantities you ordered are the quantities
you receive as you unload. No extra steps.
Loading trucks - Use the instant weight data to load evenly and legally. Avoid
overload fines and unsafe operation.
Shipping - Verify the accuracy of your customers� estimated shipping weights.
Correct the transfer charges when you find a different weight.
Manufacturing - Help track inventories and save steps as product flows between
departments. Your forklift equipped with a QTLTSC will instantly document
material weights as it is picked up for transport. No costly guess work; no
extra trips to a remote floor scale.
Field serviceability - One of the high priorities in the design of the Weigh-Tronix
Lift Truck Scale was that the scale should be field serviceable. An idled lift
truck scale sitting in a repair shop six hundred miles away is not making you
any money. It's a drain on your resources.
To accomplish their goal, designers chose not to use the traditional welded
flexures to secure the scale to the forklift. Instead, the Weigh Bars fasten the
front and back plates of the carriage assembly. Scale technicians can quickly
repair or replace Weigh Bars on site without the complications of breaking welds
and total disassembly of the scale for service.
The interface cable for the QTLTSC has quick disconnects; cables can be replaced
in seconds. Or they can be easily replaced or repaired in the field with cutting
and splicing.
QTLTSC is not just another lift truck scale - Part of the secret to the success
of the QTLTSC is in its new, patented components. Its Weigh Bars have been
specifically developed for the lift truck scale. They serve dual purposes. They
tie together the front and back elements of the carriage assembly, eliminating
the need for welded flexures, and they capture weight readings on every load
your lift truck picks up.
Many of the components, such as the angle detection and Weigh Bar summing
assembly and indicator, can be field diagnosed and repaired or swapped out. The
carriage assembly of the QTLTSC features a centering pin which assures proper
scale positioning and eliminates shifting of the assembly on the lift truck
carriage.
A traditional problem with fork lift scales has been that any change in fork
position affects accuracy of the readings. QTLTSC designers have met this
challenge. A combination of carriage assembly design, angle detection and a new
Weigh Bar summing assembly allows the QTLTSC to weigh accurately with wide,
normal or narrow fork positions.
WI-125, the indicator that knows its place - Operator head room is limited in
most forklifts. The wrong cab-mounted weight indicator can easily become a
hazard to the operator. The WI-125, however, is only 3.75 inches deep. The
smoothly rounded corners of its impact-resistant Lexan enclosure virtually
eliminate possible injuries from accidental bumps to operators� heads.
Weigh-Tronix has angle detection software in the WI-125. The WI-125's angle
detection function automatically compensates for pitch and roll and allows the
lift truck scale to weigh accurately even on surfaces that are not perfectly
level.
Linking the WI-125 Indicator with a convenient WP-233 Dot Matrix Printer is
another way to save steps and cost. This combination can provide you with
automatic hard copy documentation of weight data.
Finally, any instrument that works as hard as lift a truck indicator does, has
to be uncluttered, free of unnecessary buttons, bells and accessories. WI-125 is
an all-business instrument. It has an eight-digit, seven-segment LCD which is .6
inch high. Five keys accomplish all its functions: Tare, Gross/Net, Zero, Print
and Units. The operation of the WI-125 can be made even simpler if you choose to
disable unneeded functions.
