Technical Concept of iForks

iForks are the first completely wireless weighing system for forklift trucks in the world, thanks to the integrated Bluetooth technology. Being wireless, the system can be installed onto any forklift in a matter of minutes: Plug & Weigh.

Each fork is equipped with its own battery module, this eliminates cable reels and power cords between the forks. The battery modules are exchangeable, robust and integrated into the fork design. The bulky housings for battery and electronics on top of the forks are no longer necessary.

The Bluetooth transmitters and calibration board have been integrated into the forks to avoid the risk of being damaged, this makes downtime on the iForks extremely low. Both scale forks communicate independently with the driver display in the cabin of the truck, each via its own Bluetooth transmitter mounted in a small niche in the vertical part of the fork. The status of the Bluetooth connection between the weighing forks and the indicator is shown by blue LED's.

The iForks install easily, even on forklift trucks with a load backrest above the carriage. With a minor adjustment iForks are even suitable for use in combination with a fork positioner.
