Manitou's larger MLT 841 and 1041 telehandler models can now be optioned with the in-house developed, Smart Weigh System (SWS).
The technology utilises six pressure sensors, with two each mounted in the main lift ram, compensation ram and headstock ram, offering the capability to carry out static and dynamic weighing, with a claimed accuracy of +/- 2%.
By monitoring the boom angle, overall reach and carriage angle, this process constantly updates payload weight, without needing to stop and let the system settle. The payload is shown as an in-cab display, with a tare function enabling operators to zero the SWS as implements or attachments are changed.
Overall versatility is achieved with basic, cumulative and target weighing functions, while for those using the handlers in livestock operations for feed loading, the SWS software allows a ration formulation capability by being able store up to 44 ingredients in 13 rations.
In addition to the factory-fitted option, SWS can be retro-fitted, with the manufacturer advising that SWS is likely to be rolled-out across the rest of its telehandler range later in the year.
