1. Overview
1.1. The System
The Liftlog 1000 is a weighing system designed for use principally on counterbalance fork lift trucks. It measures, displays and
records the net or gross weight lifted, normally based on sensing the lift system hydraulic pressure. Normally, a weighing start
point is established by use of a magnetic Reference position sensor fitted on the lift mast. Without the reference sensor
however, the weighing cycle can be started at any lift height (while still allowing the load sufficient height to drop while
weighing).

Triggering the weighing cycle operates a solenoid on a custom, flow-regulated valve, causing the lift cylinder(s) to drop at a
controlled rate while the hydraulic pressure is measured and averaged over the sampling period. The weight is then displayed
either as a gross weight, or if a tare value has been set, then the net weight can be displayed.
1.2 System Accuracy
With careful operation and observing the recommended weighing procedure (ref. section 3.1 –“Getting the Best Results”), you
can expect accuracy of ±0.5% of the maximum load capacity (e.g. ±5kg lifting 1000kg). It must be stressed however that this
degree of accuracy although possible, cannot be guaranteed since it depends on factors beyond the scope of the system, such as
the condition of the truck and reliance on the operator.
NOTE: Liftlog 1000 weight readings are not suitable as a legal basis for the sale of goods.
