IVDT SkidWeigh Classic (SC Series)
The IVDT SkidWeigh Classic (SC Series) is a prominent onboard hydraulic check-weighing forklift scale engineered specifically for the North American material handling market by Integrated Visual Data Technology (IVDT). Manufactured in Oakville, Ontario, Canada, this rugged, button-free system bypasses the need for fragile carriage load cells. Instead, it uses a specific algorithm software and custom Swiss-made hydraulic pressure transducer spliced into the forklift’s lifting hydraulic circuit to measure fluid pressure and calculate weight within seconds.
Large scale material handling operations standardize their fleets using the SkidWeigh Classic because it resolves the main drawbacks of traditional weighing systems:
- Universal Compatibility: It can be installed into the hydraulic lift circuit of any lift truck or Class III electric pallet jack regardless of the vehicle’s make, model, capacity, or voltage. This allows fleet managers to deploy a single, uniform weighing solution across a mixed-brand fleet.
- No Vehicle De-rating: Traditional carriage or fork-mounted load cells add physical weight and change the center of gravity, requiring an OEM-modified vehicle capacity plate. The SkidWeigh Classic uses an internal hydraulic pressure transducer, meaning it does not de-rate the forklift’s lifting capacity.
- Rugged Longevity: Fork mounted scales easily break in fast paced, rugged warehouse environments. IVDT’s system is housed in a dust and moisture proof IP65 enclosure that often outlasts the lifecycle of the forklift itself, requiring zero ongoing maintenance or recalibration.
Operational Efficiency: It features a “Lift-N-Weigh” protocol. Operators simply lift a load slightly to automatically record the weight. No buttons, keypads, or workflow interruptions are required, keeping cross docking and shipping lines moving.
