Frequently Asked Questions
Our hydraulic forklift scales work by reading the hydraulic pressure in your forklift's lift system. When you lift a load, the scale measures the pressure change and converts it to an accurate weight reading with 98-99% accuracy. The system integrates seamlessly with your existing hydraulic-driven forklift without any modifications to your equipment.
Our scales are ideal for anyone with a hydraulic-driven forklift who needs accurate weight measurements. This includes distribution centers, retail facilities, farmers, manufacturers, convention contractors, and forklift dealers. Whether you're loading trucks, managing inventory, or need to avoid overweight fines, our scales provide the accuracy you need.
With over 40 years of scale experience since 1989, we offer unmatched expertise and service. We provide 24/7 U.S.-based phone support, same-day shipping, a free 21-day trial period, and a limited lifetime warranty. Our simplified software and single-lift weighing operation make us more user-friendly than competitors' complex systems.
Our hydraulic forklift scales provide 98-99% accuracy with a minimum load requirement of 400 lbs and can handle up to 100,000 lbs without de-rating your forklift. While our hydraulic systems are slightly less accurate than load-cell-based systems, they offer the perfect balance of accuracy, durability, and affordability for most applications.
Our scales help you avoid costly overweight fines, reduce trips to weigh stations, and improve loading efficiency. By weighing loads directly on your forklift, you can optimize truck loading, prevent damage from overloading, and streamline your operations. Many customers see a return on investment within months through improved efficiency and avoided penalties.
We provide comprehensive support including 24/7 U.S.-based phone support, scale installation and calibration assistance, technical support, and custom hydraulic components when needed. All our scales come with a limited lifetime warranty, and we offer a risk-free 21-day trial with full refunds on undamaged returns.
