Page 7: System Overview
System Overview 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. -
