Nowadays overloading freight trucks can be quite expensive. Highway inspections have become more frequent and in some cases both the driver and the forwarder are fined for overloading. With an integrated scale on a pallet truck or forklift truck every pallet loaded is instantly weighed.
The forklift truck constantly shows the total loaded weight The scale on the forklift truck constantly adds up the loaded weights to a total weight, so that at any moment it is known how much weight has been loaded onto the freight truck. Thus overloading is easily avoided. Since in checking for overloads a few pounds more or less do not matter, a low cost scale suffices, such as the RAVAS RCS PLUS hydraulic scale for counterbalanced forklift trucks.
