Oil pressure weighing system for forklifts
Discover the RAVAS RCS-PLUS
With oil pressure sensor
The RCS-PLUS weighs by measuring the pressure in the hydraulic lift system of the forklift truck, via an oil pressure sensor on the valve block. The heavier the load, the higher the oil temperature and pressure. The software translates both measurements into an accurate weight indication of the load on the forks.
Accurate weight determination
The RAVAS RCS-PLUS provides accurate weighing with a scale section of 2kg, 5kg or 10kg depending on maximum capacity. The weighing system has a maximum deviation of 0.2% from the weighing capacity.
Standard up to 10,000kg
The RCS-PLUS is available as standard with a weighing capacity of 2,500kg, 5,000kg or 10,000kg.
Weighing using oil pressure
How does the RCS-PLUS work?
The operator lifts a load to the reference height of about 80 cm above the floor. He then presses a button on the indicator, and the system automatically lowers the fork carriage and forks about 15 cm. During this controlled lowering, the display counts down while the software calculates the weight and displays it on the display.
The RCS-PLUS has a dynamic zero value. This value reflects the oil pressure in the hydraulic circuit of the mast when the forks are not loaded. After the forks are unloaded, the display returns to zero, giving the operator current information about a possible deviation from the calibrated zero point during operation.
