Oil pressure weighing machine for fork lift and stacker RAVAS
RAVAS supplies a complete range of scales for mounting on forklift trucks.
RCS system
For simple check weighing, where a high accuracy is not required, there is the RCS hydraulic load indication system. With the RCS an oil pressure sensor is installed onto the hydraulic circuit of the forklift by means of a T-coupling. The indicator in the cabin translates the measurement into a weight indication of the load on the forks. The RCS has a limited accuracy, with a possible error of maximum 2% of the lifting capacity of the truck.
The system is meant for simple check weighing, such as the checking of incoming goods, and for avoiding the overloading of lorries, warehouse racking and the forklift truck itself.
RCS PLUS system
The RCS PLUS is an accurate hydraulic weighing system for forklift trucks. On a forklift truck with a capacity of 2.500 kg the weight graduation is displayed in steps of 2 kg, with a 5 kg tolerance (+/- 0.2%). The RCS PLUS weighs by measuring the pressure in the hydraulic lifting system of the forklift truck, via a temperature compensated sensor on a valve block.
During a controlled descent of the mast the pressure in the hydraulic system is measured repeatedly, the software translates these measurements into an accurate weight indication of the load on the forks.
