The FHX Series is a high accuracy weighing system for hydraulic forklifts and reach trucks. The system is most often used for check weighing, tare weighing, general weighing and with forklifts accessorized with a roll clamp or rotator. The FHX offers easy, cost-efficient installation and is compatible with hydraulic trucks that have capacities up to 20,000 lbs.

HOW THE SYSTEM WORKS
Speed sensors are mounted against the truck's mast to measure the lifting and lowering speed of the forks. As the loaded forks pass the trajectory between the speed sensors, the weighing sensor takes approximately a thousand samples of the forklift's hydraulic pressure. The instrument analyzes the samples and calculates the average value into a weight. Because weight samples are captured as the load is raised and then lowered within a predefined speed bandwidth, influences from asymmetrical friction in the mast (as may happen with eccentric load centerpoints) are averaged, making the FHX Series highly accurate and suitable for use in combination with (paper roll) clamps and rotators.

SYSTEM COMPONENTS

• Weighing sensor
• Instrument with intuitive graphic display (and mounting bracket)
• Two speed sensors that are embedded in a foot-long, rectangular, aluminum housing - mounts on the forklift mast
• One magnet that mounts on the carriage plate and works in conjunction with the speed sensors
• Printer systems optional

INSTRUMENT FUNCTIONS

• Total function with five separate registers that can be named by the operator. Name length maximum is 16 alphanumeric characters.
• Gross/ net (by tare weighing or preset tare entry)
• Overload indication, based on actual hydraulic pressure, not on calculated weight
• Manual zero correction
• Self-learning zero correction
• Error messages shown on display
• Weighs in pounds (default) or kilograms
