Forklift Truck Scales – Mobile Weighing Systems for Warehouses & Logistics
Our forklift truck scales are professional weighing systems that integrate directly with your existing forklift, enabling accurate load measurement during normal material handling operations. By weighing pallets and loads on the move, they eliminate the need for separate weighing stations, reduce double handling, and improve throughput across warehouse, logistics, manufacturing, and distribution environments.
Designed for demanding industrial use, forklift truck scales retrofit onto most standard forklifts without major modifications or significant downtime. High-accuracy load cells are mounted to the fork carriage, with wireless indicators providing clear weight readouts from the driver’s seat. With capacities from 1,000 kg to 5,000 kg and IP65/IP67-rated construction, they perform reliably in the harshest warehouse and outdoor conditions. OIML-approved models are available for legal-for-trade applications including freight verification and commercial transactions.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will forklift truck scales fit my existing forklift?
Most forklift truck scales are designed as retrofit systems compatible with standard fork carriages. Installation typically requires no major structural modifications. Compatibility depends on your forklift’s carriage class and fork dimensions — contact our team with your forklift details and we’ll confirm suitability before you order.
How accurate are forklift truck scales?
Accuracy varies by model, but most forklift scales achieve ±0.1% to ±0.5% of full scale capacity under stable conditions. For applications requiring higher precision or legal-for-trade certification, OIML-approved models are available — please check individual product listings or contact us for guidance.
Can forklift truck scales be used for legal-for-trade applications?
Yes. Several models in our range carry OIML Class III trade approval, making them suitable for commercial transactions such as freight weight verification, scrap metal trading, and agricultural produce. Please confirm approval status with our team before purchasing for trade use.
Do forklift scales work in outdoor environments?
Yes. Our IP65 and IP67-rated models are built for outdoor and harsh industrial environments, offering protection against dust and water ingress. Wireless indicators with large LED displays ensure clear readouts in varying light conditions, including direct sunlight.
Are calibration certificates available?
Yes. Traceable calibration certificates are available on request for all models in our range. We also offer on-site calibration and periodic service support to keep your forklift scales operating within specification — contact our team for details.
