Download P R E C I S E is world`s most accurate hydraulic scale

Consider the issues of accuracy, damageability, reparability, installation, logging, printing, export of data and cost.
PRECISE
is world’s most accurate hydraulic scale
What’ PRECISE’S published accuracy as a % of lift truck capacity? (2%, 1%, .2%, .1% etc) .2%
What is the actual accuracy range compared to any load you pick? Within 10# of any load picked up
What’s the accuracy of a conventional hydraulic scale? 2% or within 100# of any load it picks up
What’s the accuracy of a load cell scale? .1% or within 5# of any load it picks up
Why does the PRECISE have so MUCH higher accuracy than a conventional hydraulic scale ?
Instead of one pressure reading, PRECISE gets hundreds as fluid passes through bypass module.
Does your forklift lose lifting capacity with the scale you are considering? No
Is there “lost load center” on the carriage? How much capacity is lost? No unlike load cell scales there are none
Can PRECISE be used on high capacity forklifts ? Yes, in the past high capacity forklifts have stayed away from
hydraulic scales because of the 2% accuracy. For example a conventional hyd scale on a 30000# forklift
will have a range of 600# of ANY load it picks up. A PRECISE would have a 60# maximum deviation.
Can I use PRECISE in tough abusive applications? Yes, since it is hydraulic, components are out of harms way.
What’s different about installing a PRECISE? Mechanic “T”s into pressure line and runs one hyd hose to the
bypass module and 2nd hyd hose from bypass module to hydraulic oil reservoir
How many hours and how expensive is it going to be to install the scale? About 5 hours, around $400
Can installation be done by a decent lift truck mechanic? Yes, any good hydraulic mechanic will have no trouble
How is the scale calibrated? Procedure with known weight. Can it be calibrated with several weights? Yes
How does the height sensor work? PRECISE forces the operator to stop at the proper weighing height with a
magnetic sensor---if he is not at the proper height, the bypass will not work---improving accuracy
Does the device have diagnostic screen? Yes, technician can evaluate sensor output in real time.
Can you calibrate the scale or does it require a scale technician to calibrate the unit? Procedure in manual or with
direct instruction from Keytroller customer support.
Does the scale have totalization? Yes (cumulative running total of loads handled--important for trailer loading)
Does the scale allow storage of load weights on different channels? Yes
Does the scale allow you to name channels? Yes, typed in on screen.
Can you move back and forth between channels? Yes---will show the load number in that named channel
Can I put a reference on each load? Yes, type in PO#, invoice #, company name etc.
Does the display totalize all loads in that channel? Yes, in a programmed # of seconds, changes to total weight.
Can I load in tare (container) weights? Yes, it can be done manually or automatically.
Does the display show gross, tare and net load weights? Yes, both for individual load and for each channel
Does the scale time/date stamp every weighing event----load handled? Yes, date time to the second
Can you remove the weighing data from the scale ? Yes by USB stick or removing SD card
What can I do with the data? Export it to Excel spreadsheet and produce reports, graphs and charts.
Does the scale allow for printing of individual or channel weighments? Yes---either
Does the scale fit to all makes, models and capacities of forklifts? Yes—only electric requires voltage converter
Can it be removed and installed on anther truck? Yes
Does the scale have overload warning capabilities? Yes, you set threshold % of full capacity
Audible and Visual warnings of overload? Yes—horizontal line shows % of full capacity—optional siren alarm
sounds when over % setpoint warning operator.
Does the scale show me quick view of load weight? Yes, horizontal line shows operator % of full capacity even
before using bypass module weighing procedure. Operator can tell approximate weight visually.
Will the scale work with lift truck attachments? Yes---weight of attachment figured into calibration procedure
Can the scale be set to read in Kgs or Lbs? Yes
How intuitive is the LCD display? Easy for an operator to understand? Yes---color touchscreen is very intuitive
Can the scale be readily damaged in “normal” forklift application? No What about in a “tough” applications? No
If it can be damaged, how expensive will it be to repair a damaged component (ie: load cell fork or load cell carriage)
Can not damage a hydraulic scale in any type of application
What is delivery time? Immediate from stock
What is the warranty? 1 year
Return policy, re-stocking charges? Accuracy guaranteed or money back
Shipping costs: Important since load cell systems will weigh a several hundred pounds $15 per unit
Serviceability after sale---what kind of repairs may be necessary? Solenoid only moving part, easily replaced.
How expensive is a typical repair? (Big issue on load cell fork + carriage scales) Can’t be damaged in forklift use.
Do you have a tabletop demo kit available? Yes, display is completely functional with hyd sensor simulator--see first hand all of these features and how user friendly the device is for your operators
Total cost for a PRECISE? $3,900 PRECISE Model: PCSE-1000 (Under 10000# capacity forklift)
Total cost for a PRECISE? $4,700 PRECISE Model: PCSE-1000-HC (Over 10000# capacity forklift)
