About RAVAS-SafeCheck
The RAVAS-SafeCheck is a warning device with a buzzer alarm that sounds whenever the load on the forks exceeds a preset limit, assisting the driver in avoiding potentially dangerous overload situations.
The RAVAS-SafeCheck is a simple and affordable warning system for forklift trucks, with an audio alarm that goes off when the weight on the forks exceeds a preset limit. The alarm only switches off again once the load is reduced to below the limit again.

HOW RAVAS-SafeCheck WORKS
The RAVAS-SafeCheck uses a pressure sensor to measure the hydraulic pressure in the lifting circuit (cylinder) of the truck by means of a T-coupling. The indicator in the cabin translates the measurement into a weight indication of the load on the forks. Using the keyboard of the indicator a maximum allowed load can be entered. Every time the load on the forks exceeds that value, the warning buzzer goes off.
To reduce the influence of the condition of the mast and the cylinder, the weighing is always performed at the same height. To ensure this, stickers are placed on the mast and carriage plate to clearly mark the reference height at which the weighing should occur.
The system is powered by the truck battery and automatically switches on when the truck starts, so it’s active whenever the truck is operative.
