Liftlog scales are cost-efficient onboard weighing systems designed to measure load weights during handling. Our team answers frequently asked questions about the Liftlog 100, Liftlog 100+, and Liftlog 1000.
What is the Liftlog 100?
The Liftlog 100 is an onboard forklift weighing system that provides real-time pallet weight readings during lifting operations, allowing operators to monitor load weight directly from the truck. It is designed for use in a despatch yard or warehouse environment.
How does the Liftlog 100 onboard weighing system work?
The Liftlog 100 uses a sensor to measure hydraulic pressure in the system and informs the operator of the load as a calculated weight displayed in either kilograms or tons.
What are the benefits of using the Liftlog 100 forklift scale?
The Liftlog 100 helps:
- reduce loading cycle times
- maximise tons per hour performance
- allows operators to check load weights directly on the forklift during handling for improved load awareness
- improve loading safety in warehouse environments
- support correct and even loading of vehicles and storage
- enable check-weighing of incoming and outgoing goods
- increase overall forklift efficiency
- provide a cost-effective weighing solution with minimal investment.
What is the difference between the Liftlog 100 and Liftlog 100+?
The Liftlog 100+ includes all Liftlog 100 functionality and adds a totalising feature, allowing multiple pallets to be check-weighed, eliminating the need to travel to a floor-mounted platform scale, often located in an isolated part of the warehouse.
What is the Liftlog 1000 onboard weighing system used for?
The Liftlog 1000 — forklift truck scales — is designed for forklift weighing applications where high levels of efficiency and precision are essential.
How accurate is the Liftlog 1000 forklift scale?
The Liftlog 1000 delivers accuracy of approximately ±0.5% of truck capacity, making it the most precise Liftlog system for high-accuracy weighing requirements. The Liftlog 100 and 100+ both have an accuracy of ±2% of truck capacity.
Does the Liftlog 1000 store weighing data?
Yes, it includes a memory stores function with an option to include an additional text reference to be associated with the load.
Can the Liftlog 1000 export weighing data to a computer?
Yes, the Liftlog 1000 supports USB export for transferring recorded weight data to a computer.
Do the Liftlog forklift weighing systems include overload warnings?
Yes, all mentioned Liftlog systems feature visual and audible alarms that alert the operator when load limits are approached or exceeded during lifting.
Why use an onboard forklift weighing system instead of a platform scale?
Onboard systems measure weight during normal forklift operation, allowing loads to be weighed as they are lifted and moved, rather than requiring a separate weighing stage.
How do I choose the right Liftlog system?
The Liftlog range includes the Liftlog 100, 100+, and 1000. The Liftlog 100 is suited to warehouse or despatch yard forklift weighing, the 100+ adds totalising for multiple pallet weighing, and the 1000 offers higher accuracy with onboard memory and USB export.
