Hydraulic forklift scale / on-board weighing / no fork change
Forklift Scale Systems reads your forklift's own hydraulic pressure to weigh loads while you lift them — no fork replacement, no loss of lifting capacity. A practical on-board forklift weighing system for teams that need fast, in-process weight checks without walking loads to a floor scale.
Designed for in-process weighing — not legal for trade. Forklift Scale Systems is built for overload prevention, stock and shipment control, not for certified commercial billing.
Why Forklift Scale Systems
Load-cell forks are accurate but expensive, heavy, and they eat into your rated capacity. Forklift Scale Systems takes a different route.
A pressure-sensor system costs a fraction of load-cell weighing forks, so you can equip more trucks for the same budget.
The sensor taps into the existing hydraulic line and the display mounts in the cab. No custom forks, no structural changes.
Because there are no heavy instrumented forks, your forklift keeps its full rated capacity and your operators keep their forks.
How It Works
Forklift Scale Systems connects a pressure sensor to the lift cylinder's hydraulic line and converts the reading into a calibrated weight shown on the in-cab display.
A pressure sensor is fitted to the lift cylinder's oil inlet via a T-fitting — no changes to the forks or mast.
Simple markers let the operator weigh at the same reference height every time, keeping repeat readings consistent.
The calibrated system shows the load weight instantly — tare and calibration are quick, one-time steps.
