Hydraulic Weighing

Hydraulic Weighing is a straightforward and cost-effective way to measure load weight directly from your forklift truck. Instead of using sensors fitted to the forks, a hydraulic weighing system calculates weight through the hydraulic pressure in the lift mast. The weight is then shown clearly on the in-cab display, giving operators instant visibility while they work.

Because the system uses the truck’s existing hydraulic circuit, installation is simple on both new and used forklifts. There is no need for structural modifications or additional handling of the load. The forklift remains fully usable, and operators can see accurate weight data without stopping or carrying out extra movements.

Equipment Description.

Hydraulic weighing is particularly useful for check weighing, overload prevention and inventory control. It helps protect vehicles from exceeding capacity, supports accurate dispatch weights, and improves day-to-day stock management. For many operations, it provides a practical balance between performance, simplicity and cost.

Abbey supplies RAVAS hydraulic weighing systems, recognised as one of Europe’s leading providers of hydraulic weighing solutions. We offer both the RAVAS RCS, a reliable system suited to general weighing tasks, and the RAVAS RCS +, which provides enhanced accuracy and additional weighing functions for applications where greater precision is required.

Our team will guide you towards the right hydraulic weighing system for your forklift and ensure it is fitted correctly, with ongoing support available to keep your equipment performing as it should.

RAVAS RCS

  • On-site calibration – Carry out calibration at your location, keeping your forklift scale available for daily use.
  • Lower maintenance costs – Reduce service call-out charges and travel expenses linked to third-party calibration visits.
  • Reduced downtime – Calibrate quickly in-house so trucks remain operational and work schedules stay on track.
  • Support for legal-for-trade compliance – Help maintain the required accuracy standards for certified or trade-approved weighing systems where applicable.
  • Greater accuracy control – Manage your own calibration checks and maintain consistent, dependable weight readings.

 

RAVAS RCS +

  • Higher weighing accuracy – Achieve precise weight readings suitable for applications where tight tolerances matter.
  • Advanced weighing functions – Includes gross and net weighing, manual tare entry, manual zero correction, totalling with sequence numbering, 5-digit code entry, selectable kg or lb display, and on-screen error messages to support correct operation.
  • Dynamic zero and stability control – A dynamic zero value reflects real-time hydraulic pressure when forks are unloaded, helping identify and correct zero drift caused by temperature changes in the oil circuit.
  • Optional connectivity – Add Bluetooth or Wi-Fi data transfer to integrate with warehouse systems, plus thermal or matrix printers for producing weight tickets.
  • Wide forklift compatibility – Suitable for many forklift trucks, including those fitted with rotators or clamps.

 

Robust, industrial-ready design – Built for reliable performance in busy warehouse and logistics environments.
