Suitable Applications
The Loadrite measures weight by sensing the hydraulic pressure required
to lift a load. A trigger mechanism senses the position of the lifting arms.
Typical vehicles using the Loadrite system are:
• Front end loaders (bucket and/or fork)
• Forklift trucks
Weighing Accuracy
Typical accuracy is ±1% for most bucket loaders. This may vary with
different machine types and installation options.
Minimal Weighing Delay
Weighing delay is minimal, because the weighing function is carried out
during a normal lift. Loader should be stationary.
