The CLS Series Class III Forklift Scale by Rice Lake Weighing Systems offers a robust and economical weighing solution for heavy-duty forklift operations. Built to mount directly to most Class III forklifts, this system enables operators to weigh loads without leaving the driver seat—maximizing time efficiency and reducing trips to a stationary scale.
Constructed with two 1.5 in thick painted steel plates connected via four precision flexures, the scale provides consistent weight data for in-warehouse handling and logistics. While not Legal for Trade, its ±5 lb accuracy is ideal for internal operations where speed and cost-efficiency matter.
Integrated with dual 5,000 lb S-beam load cells and the smart iQUBE²® junction box, the system ensures reliable performance. Weight readings can be displayed using the CLS-680 or CLS-920i indicators, or virtually via VIRTUi³® software on tablets or PCs.
To maintain compliance, OSHA regulations require the forklift’s capacity plate to be updated following scale installation. SellEton Scales ensures every CLS Series system ships ready for smooth integration into your operations.
