Shipping - Verify the accuracy of your customers’ estimated shipping weights. Correct the transfer charges when you find a different weight.
Manufacturing - Help track inventories and save steps as product flows between departments. Your forklift equipped with a QTLTSC will instantly document material weights as it is picked up for transport.
SimulCast Instrumentation (optional feature) - The combination of SimulCast instrumentation and the QTLTSC legal for trade lift truck scale yields a valuable tool for the shipping industry It simultaneously displays current weight and related data. Its database can store up to 750 records. Peripheral input devices such as scanners and bar code wands are compatible. Downloading the data can be accomplished by infrared or RF to printers, PCs, or mainframes.
For centuries, weight has been the standard of value in the majority of commercial endeavors. Grain, minerals, livestock, gems, produce, building materials, manufacturing components—all are, measured, controlled, dispensed, bought and sold by weight.
In almost every operation there is someone who figures out that weighing is an extra process. It takes too much time. It is easier to guess than to make an extra trip to a scale. Such guessing costs manufacturers, shippers and other businesses millions of dollars every year. Receiving goods without double checking documented weights is an easy way to mismanage inventories of raw materials. If shipping is your business, do you take it for granted that your customer furnished you with correct weight documentation? If your freight handlers make that mistake by skipping the weighing process, they will cost you a lot in lost revenues.
Weighing does not always have to be an added step. It can be an unobtrusive part of your standard process. Add the WeighTronix QTLTSC (QuickTach Lift Truck Scale, Certified) to your lift trucks, and remove the extra time and traffic involved in making trips to and from the floor scale. As your driver picks up a pallet, the WeighTronix Lift Truck Scale automatically weighs product giving you critical cost controls with no extra steps.
Part of the secret to the success of the QTLTSC is in its new, patented components. Its Weigh Bars have been specifically developed for the lift truck scale. They serve dual purposes. They tie together the front and back elements of the carriage assembly, eliminating the need for welded flexures, and they capture weight readings on every load your lift truck picks up.
Many of the components, such as the angle detection and Weigh Bar summing assembly and indicator, can be field diagnosed and repaired or swapped out. The carriage assembly of the QTLTSC features a centering pin which assures proper scale positioning and eliminates shifting of the assembly on the lift truck carriage.
A traditional problem with fork lift scales has been that any change in fork position affects accuracy of the readings. QTLTSC designers have met this challenge. A combination of carriage assembly design, angle detection and a new Weigh Bar summing assembly allows the QTLTSC to weigh accurately with wide, normal or narrow fork positions.
Operator head room is limited in most forklifts. The wrong cab-mounted weight indicator can easily become a hazard to the operator. The WI-125, however, is only 3.75 inches deep. The smoothly rounded corners of its impact-resistant Lexan enclosure virtually eliminate possible injuries from accidental bumps to operators’ heads.
WeighTronix has angle detection software in the WI-125. The WI-125’s angle detection function automatically compensates for pitch and roll and allows the lift truck scale to weigh accurately even on surfaces that are not perfectly level.
Linking the WI-125 Indicator with a convenient WP-233 Dot Matrix Printer is another way to save steps and cost. This combination can provide you with automatic hard copy documentation of weight data.
Finally, any instrument that works as hard as lift a truck indicator does, has to be uncluttered, free of unnecessary buttons, bells and accessories. WI-125 is an all-business instrument. It has an eight-digit, seven-segment LCD which is .6 inch high. Five keys accomplish all its functions: Tare, Gross/Net, Zero, Print and Units. The operation of the WI-125 can be made even simpler if you choose to disable unneeded functions.
The durability of Weigh-Tronix's lift truck scale is immediately apparent. The scale's patented design features a heavy-duty carriage comprised of two solid metal plates coupled together by application designed Weigh Bar® weight sensors. The inherent strength of the carriage plates allows the assembly to incorporate two huge viewing ports, which provide the operator a clear line of sight to the forks.
The Weigh Bars electronically measure the load on the forks and convey this information to a summing and angle detection box. The box is constructed of stainless steel and placed between two metal plates for added protection.
The Weigh Bar cables are enclosed within metal guards for environmental protection. Even travel stops have been designed-in to prevent forks from sliding off either end. The entire carriage assembly is primed and finished with durable epoxy paint.
The scale is available with a choice of two indicators, the basic WI-125 or the SimulCast™ with advanced data management.
The WI-125 is a simple no nonsense instrument. Its LCD display provides excellent visibility in direct sunlight and has an automated backlight for low-light environments. The impact resistant enclosure features rounded corners for safety.
SimulCast has an electroluminescent multi-line display. It simultaneously displays current weight and related data. Its database can store up to 750 records. Peripheral input devices such as scanners and bar code wands are compatible. Downloading the data can be accomplished by infrared or RF to printers, PCs, or mainframes.
One of the high priorities in the design of the WeighTronix Lift Truck Scale was that the scale should be field serviceable. An idled lift truck scale sitting in a repair shop six hundred miles away is not making you any money. It’s a drain on your resources.
To accomplish their goal, designers chose not to use the traditional welded flexures to secure the scale to the forklift. Instead, the Weigh Bars fasten the front and back plates of the carriage assembly. Scale technicians can quickly repair or replace Weigh Bars on site without the complications of breaking welds and total disassembly of the scale for service.
The interface cable for the QTLTSC has quick disconnects; cables can be replaced in seconds. Or they can be easily replaced or repaired in the field with cutting and splicing.
