 RAVAS, The Mobile Scale Company, introduces iForks, the first completely wireless scale forks for forklift trucks, reach trucks and narrow aisle trucks. Since all components are fully integrated in the forks, the iForks have no external cabling whatsoever and the weighing system can be installed onto any forklift truck in a matter of minutes: plug & weigh! From that moment on, every load lifted by the truck is instantly and accurately weighed. For more information about iForks, for UK please contact RAVAS sales manager Nicola Whittle. For other countries: please check this page.
iFORKS IS RESISTANT FOR ROUGH USE AND EXTREMELY COMPACT
 Each scale fork communicates the weight lifted with the weight indicator in the cabin via Bluetooth. The weighing system is powered by robust, exchangeable battery modules. All Electronics and power components are exclusively developed by RAVAS for the iForks concept. Which is why they are not only resistant to rough use, but also extremely compact, keeping the fork dimensions (w x h = 133 x 58 mm) very close to those of standard lift truck forks and making sure that the user does not loose any handling performance.
iFORKS: EASY TO USE AND LOW COSTS
 The iForks weight indicator in the cabin shows the weight of the load on the forks and offers a complete range of weighing functions: gross/net weighing, total weight per shipment, code entry, date/time registration, and piece counting. The indicator can provide weight data transfer to a printer, a data terminal, or directly to a WMS or ERP system, via RS232, Bluetooth or WiFi. The display is equipped with backlight, making it perfectly readable even in the darkest corners of a warehouse or production environment. iForks offers Digital Calibration Technology: via the keys of the indicator the scale can be digitally adjusted, quickly and accurately. Which makes for a very maintenance friendly weighing system and low cost of ownership.
USER SUPERVISES POWER MANAGEMENT HIMSELF
 The user can supervise the power management of the iForks himself. The weighing system has an auto-shut-off function which automatically switches off the electronics after a prolonged period of non-use. Via a power management menu on the indicator the user can adjust the auto-shut-off time according to the use and application of the truck.
iFORKS ALSO AVAILABLE IN LEGAL FOR TRADE VERSION
iForks is available in a legal for trade version. RAVAS iForks received certificate number T2735, for the iForks with a graduation of 1000 parts in 2 kg steps.
- iForks 2500: 0-2000 kg in 2 kg steps, over 2000 kg in 5 kg steps;
- iForks 3000: (to a fork length of 1300 mm, 2 load cells per fork) 0-2000 in 2 kg steps, over 2000 kg, in 5 kg steps;
- iForks 5000: (to a fork length of 1300 mm, 2 load cells per fork) 0-5000 in 5 kg steps (5-ton load cells).
The iForks indicator has an alibi memory. The legal for trade iForks with option BLT output is therefore also certified, which allows data communication and printing with a Bluetooth printer. During the third quarter of this year we are expecting to receive also certificates for the correction level sensor, WiFi output, RS232 and the relays.
