introduction
Forklift scales can dramatically increase your customer’s efficiency and throughput during the material handling process. These scales are quick and easy to install, and increase profits by saving time. In order to recommend the best system for your customer, plan a visit to examine the forklift and discuss individual application needs.
Determine Compatibility
Forklift scales are most compatible with counterbalance forklifts, the most
common type of forklift in industrial environments. If your customer has
something other than a counterbalance forklift, such as a reach forklift, it
is best to consult with the scale manufacturer to conclude whether a scale can
be installed. Forklift scale selection depends upon the forklift’s carriage
size. Unfortunately, this can’t be established from the make and model of the
forklift alone. To provide some guidance, a forklift’s lifting capacity can
help categorize the carriage class type, but the carriage profile is the best
way to determine scale viability. Other important elements for determining
compatibility:
Check attachments and mounting plate compatibility. Make sure the forks can be
removed from the forklift carriage. If an attachment needs to be re-installed
on the scale, confirm the mounting features of the attachment will fit on the
front of the forklift scale. Use the measurements from the scale’s
specifications to ensure adequate space.
Make sure there is no interference from the load backrest. If a load backrest
extension is attached, ensure the overall width does not create mechanical
interference with the scale. If selecting a wireless option, verify you have
access to change the batteries. Identify the instrumentation power supply. Gas
powered forklifts typically operate on standard 12-volt batteries, while
electric vehicle batteries typically range from 24- to 60-volt batteries.
Forklifts operating on electric batteries are prone to static, so consider a
static prevention method installed on the forklift.
Customer Operations
When you visit the facility, it is important to take note of how the customer
intends to use their forklift scale and how it will affect their operations.
You will need to consider operation conditions, review peripheral locations
and determine functions of the scale with the operator. Consider how a scale
attachment will affect operations. The addition of a forklift scale will cause
the forks to protrude an additional four to five inches. Make sure operators
can accommodate this additional length in their day-to-day use. Examine the
environment of operations. When observing how the customer intends to use
their scale, notice if the scale will be exposed to static, washdown or other
conditions. Review peripheral locations. Review with operators the potential
mounting location of the indicator and other peripherals to ensure they are
within easy view but do not hinder safe visibility. Ask what other items may
need to be mounted, such as printers or bar code readers. Establish what
happens with the captured weight. Talk with operators to determine what
functions the forklift scale needs to perform. Ask if they intend to weigh
only for printout or if they are looking
for weight to be accumulated and/or communicated elsewhere.
Post Installation
After installation, the forklift will need de-rating, and maintenance will need to be explained to your customer. De-rate the forklift. The de-rating tag may be an OSHA requirement and the forklift seller must be contacted with a request for a new data tag. Explain maintenance. Review daily and weekly maintenance items with the customer to ensure accurate weighing and performance. This includes:
