Bucket and Front End Loader Scale

At American Forklift Scale, our goal is to provide accurate weighing solutions for every stage of material handling. We are known for forklift hydraulic scales and load cell systems, and we now extend our lineup with advanced weighing technology for wheel loaders. Our front end loader scale delivers reliable, dynamic weighing that keeps projects moving while recording valuable data.

If your operation relies on front end or bucket loaders, call us today at (888) 640-2725 to learn more about this system and how it can help you manage loads more reliably and efficiently.

The Loader Scale You Can Trust

Our bucket loader scale is a powerful onboard weighing system designed specifically for wheel and bucket loaders. This scale integrates directly into the loader and measures each lift in real time, so operators do not have to stop between buckets. It combines speed, accuracy, and data management into one easy-to-use package.

Key features include:

• A 7-inch color touchscreen display with both icons and physical buttons for fast navigation
• Live tip-off adjustments that let the operator fine-tune the last bucket load
• Dynamic weighing that accounts for speed, so the loader does not need to pause to weigh
• Storage for up to 100 customers, 50 products, and 50 trucks
• Data transfer through USB memory stick or SD card
• Target load programming for improved efficiency
• Optional in-cab printing for receipts and records
• Pre-set tare and net weighing for containers or pallets

This system is built for tough work environments, providing both the accuracy and durability required in construction, aggregates, agriculture, and recycling.

How the Loader Scale Improves Efficiency

Using a bucket loader without an onboard scale often means extra trips to a stationary floor scale, which slows down production. With the WEIGHLOG 8000T, weighing happens as the operator loads. Each bucket is captured dynamically, and the running total is updated instantly on the display. The last bucket can be adjusted with the tip-off feature, which avoids overloading trucks or bins.

By removing the need to stop or travel to a separate scale, operators save valuable time. This leads to reduced fuel costs, faster truck turnaround, and improved profit margins.

Designed for Accuracy and Simplicity

The WEIGHLOG 8000T combines advanced electronics with a user-friendly interface. The 7-inch touchscreen is responsive and easy to read in a variety of lighting conditions. Icons guide the operator through functions, and large weight readouts make it simple to confirm each bucket. The system compensates automatically for lift speed, giving consistent accuracy without extra steps.

For managers, the built-in storage is just as valuable as the weighing function itself. Products, customers, and target loads can be organized directly in the system. This creates a complete record of loading activity that can be exported via USB or SD card. When paired with the optional printer, the scale can even provide immediate in-cab documentation.

Bucket Loader Scale vs Forklift Scale

While forklift scales focus on pallets, racks, and shipping weights, a bucket loader scale is built for heavy material movement. Forklift hydraulic systems and load cells measure weight in different ways, but both are designed for smaller load sizes and indoor warehouse operations. Bucket loader scales, on the other hand, measure large volumes of gravel, grain, soil, scrap, or other bulk materials.

If your business already relies on forklifts, you may recognize the time savings that come from eliminating trips to floor scales. The bucket loader scale brings that same advantage into outdoor and high-capacity environments. Together, these products give American Forklift Scale the ability to support nearly any type of equipment and material flow.

FAQs About Our Loader Scales

Can this loader scale be installed on any front end loader?

Yes, it is designed to integrate with most common wheel loader and front end loader models. A brief questionnaire about your equipment helps us confirm compatibility.

Does the operator need to stop the loader to weigh each bucket?

No. The WEIGHLOG 8000T uses dynamic weighing that compensates for movement, so buckets can be weighed while lifting.

How much information can the system store?

It can manage up to 100 customers, 50 trucks, and 50 products, making it suitable for busy operations with diverse material needs.

Can I get printed load tickets for my records?

Yes. An optional in-cab printer is available to provide receipts for customers or documentation for internal use.

What industries benefit most from a bucket loader scale?

This system is ideal for construction, quarrying, aggregates, agriculture, waste management, and recycling operations where bulk material must be tracked accurately.
