  • Page 7: Introduction

    The Loadrite Weighing System measures the weight of loads lifted by small front-end loaders, forklift trucks and similar machines that use hydraulic rams to lift the load. The Loadrite is installed in the cab of the loading machine and is connected to sensors on the lifting arms.
