Why a Skid Steer Scale Improves Productivity

Skid steers are often the go-to machines on busy jobsites. Without onboard weighing, operators must travel back and forth to a floor scale, which wastes time and fuel. Installing a skid steer scale means each bucket is recorded as it is lifted. Loads reach the correct target faster, trucks spend less time waiting, and jobs finish on schedule.

This approach not only saves labor and fuel costs but also reduces wear on tires and hydraulics. By keeping weights accurate during the first pass, you avoid mistakes that lead to reloading or underutilized trucks.

Built for Accuracy and Easy Operation

The touchscreen display makes the system easy to learn and use. Large weight numbers are visible at a glance, and the interface responds quickly, even when operators wear gloves. Four control buttons below the screen give quick access to essential functions.

Target loads can be set for different jobs or customers. Once entered, the system automatically applies them during operation. This consistency helps prevent overloading and improves accountability across shifts.

Data Management Options

This scale does much more than weigh loads. It keeps track of up to 30 customers and 30 products, with records available for review or export. Data can be saved directly to a USB memory stick or SD card. For companies that prefer wireless transfer, the scale connects with software to create reports based on customer, product, or date.

Those who want instant records in the cab can add an optional printer. This allows operators to hand off tickets immediately or file them with other work documentation.

Skid Steer Scale Compared to Other Solutions

Forklift scales are built for palletized goods and warehouse work. Loader scales are common in quarrying, agriculture, and construction. The skid steer scale fills a unique role by supporting smaller, highly maneuverable machines that move bulk materials.

Adding this system makes a compact loader more versatile, giving it the same onboard weighing capability usually reserved for larger equipment. With forklift, bucket loader, and skid steer scales now available, American Forklift Scale covers nearly every type of material handling task.

FAQs About Skid Steer Scales

Can the scale be used for batching or blending?

Yes. Our scale records each bucket weight as it is lifted, which makes it practical for blending materials in specific ratios. For example, you can add multiple products into a trailer or hopper and track each addition in real time. This helps farms combine feed mixes, construction crews prepare aggregate blends, and recycling yards build accurate loads of mixed material without relying on guesswork.

Do operators need to stop to weigh a load?

No. The system measures dynamically, so weight is captured while the skid steer is in motion. This reduces downtime and keeps jobs running smoothly. Operators can continue lifting and moving buckets without pausing, which is especially important on sites where time is tight and material volumes are high. The result is better efficiency without sacrificing accuracy.

How much customer and product data can be stored?

The scale can store up to 30 customers and 30 products, which is usually more than enough for small and mid-sized operations. Each entry can be linked to a target load, meaning the operator does not have to manually recalculate with each job. For instance, you might set one customer profile to receive a consistent 12-ton load of gravel, while another is tied to smaller, more frequent batches. This flexibility allows companies to manage records across different clients and projects.

Can I create load tickets?

Yes. Adding the scale's in-cab printer turns the skid steer into a self-contained weighing and documentation station. Operators can print tickets as soon as the job is finished, reducing paperwork delays and giving customers immediate proof of weight. Internal teams can also use these tickets to match loads against invoices or track material movement within the yard. For companies that need compliance records or customer accountability, this feature provides an important layer of documentation.

Which industries benefit most from a skid steer scale?

Skid steer scales are versatile and work in many settings. Construction crews use them to manage sand, stone, or soil deliveries. Farmers rely on them for mixing feed, loading grain, or moving silage. Landscaping businesses benefit from accurate mulch, compost, or gravel handling. Recycling facilities and waste management operations can use them to track scrap or bulk material. In every case, the goal is the same: reduce extra trips to a floor scale, save fuel, and keep better records of what gets loaded and where it goes.
