Skid steers are versatile machines used in many industries for loading, handling, and transporting materials. However, without accurate load information, operators can risk overloading, underloading, and making unnecessary trips to and from the stockpile.
The Weighlog Alpha 10 is an advanced onboard weighing solution designed for skid steers, providing accurate load measurements and improving productivity during everyday operations.
Key Takeaways
- The Weighlog Alpha 10 provides accurate onboard weighing for skid steer loaders, helping operators improve control over loading operations.
- Hydraulic pressure analysis allows materials to be weighed during the lifting cycle, making load measurement part of the normal loading process.
- Features of the Weighlog Alpha 10, including target load, pre-calibrated attachments, and data storage, help improve loading accuracy, productivity, and traceability.
How Does the Weighlog Alpha 10 Work?
The Weighlog Alpha 10 uses hydraulic pressure analysis to accurately measure the weight of materials being lifted by a skid steer. The system takes measurements during the lift cycle, allowing operators to weigh loads as part of their normal loading process.
Operators can input a target weight, which then counts down as material is loaded. The system displays the remaining weight required, as well as the amount already loaded, helping operators achieve accurate loads quickly and efficiently.
Main Features of the Weighlog Alpha 10 for Skid Steers
- Static and dynamic weighing modes for accurate weighing during the lift cycle
- Precise hydraulic pressure analysis using up to four sensors to measure loads during operation
- Supports up to 10 different attachments, including buckets and forks
- Target load function to help operators load materials to the required weight
- A 4.3” colour, high-brightness touchscreen display with additional physical keys for easy operation
- User-friendly operator interface suitable for loading, batch blending, and check weighing applications
- Stores up to 30 customers, 30 products, and 5 mixing recipes for accurate record keeping and traceability
- Communication via SD card and USB memory stick for efficient data handling
- Alarm function to notify operators when overload thresholds are reached.
Benefits of Using a Skid Steer Scale
The Weighlog Alpha 10 can be used as a skid steer scale, offering a range of benefits that help improve loading accuracy, productivity, and efficiency.
- Improve loading accuracy: The target load function helps operators achieve the required load first time, reducing the risk of underloading and overloading.
- Increase productivity: Static and dynamic weighing modes support faster loading operations, helping maximise productivity.
- Support traceability: Stored loading data improves record-keeping, stock management, and traceability across day-to-day operations.
- Reduce operating costs: Accurate loading first time helps reduce vehicle movement, fuel usage, and machine and tyre wear.
