Slide a scale onto your forks in seconds.
Remove it when weighing is not needed.
Q: What is SLIDE&WEIGH?
SLIDE&WEIGH is a removable forklift scale. The weighing sleeves slide onto the forks of any standard counterbalance forklift in under 60 seconds, without tools, hydraulic connection, or permanent installation. When weighing is not needed, the sleeves are removed and the forklift returns to full normal operation
Q: How is this different from a permanent forklift scale?
Traditional forklift scales are permanently mounted on a single forklift. This reduces lifting capacity, limits how the forks can be used, and means each forklift in the fleet requires its own dedicated system. SLIDE&WEIGH can move freely between forklifts, has no impact on lifting capacity, and requires no modifications to the forklift.
Q: How long does installation take?
Under 60 seconds. Slide the sleeves onto the forks, lock the safety pin, and the system is ready to weigh.
Q: What forklifts is SLIDE&WEIGH compatible with?
SLIDE&WEIGH fits counterbalance forklifts with fork dimensions within the following range: fork height up to 45mm (1.75"), fork width up to 120mm (4.5"), fork length up to 1,200mm (47"). No hydraulic connection or onboard power connection is required.
Q: How long does the battery last?
The sleeves support approximately 100 weighing cycles per charge or 2,500 standby hours. The sleeves charge via standard USB-C, using any phone charger or power bank.
Q: How is the weight displayed?
Weight is transmitted wirelessly via Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) to a handheld indicator. The weight is displayed instantly upon lifting the pallet.
Q: What is the weighing capacity and accuracy?
Maximum capacity is 2,500 kg (5,000 lbs). Readout resolution is 1 kg (2 lbs). Accuracy is 0.1% of applied weight.
Q: Can SLIDE&WEIGH connect to a WMS or ERP system?
Yes. The system supports multiple connectivity options including Wi-Fi (with WPA3 and certificate support), BLE, and serial RS232. This allows weight data to be captured and transferred directly into warehouse management or ERP systems without manual entry.
Q: Can one SLIDE&WEIGH unit serve multiple forklifts?
Yes. Because the sleeves are not permanently attached to any forklift, a single unit can be shared across the fleet and moved to whichever forklift needs weighing at that moment.
Q: What operations is SLIDE&WEIGH designed for?
SLIDE&WEIGH is built for real logistics operations including distribution centers, warehouses, manufacturing logistics, and retail logistics. It is particularly well suited for operations that need weighing on demand rather than continuous in-line weighing.
Q: Is SLIDE&WEIGH patented?
Yes. SLIDE&WEIGH holds patents in both the United States and Europe.
