Telehandler weigher

[Mrfarmjunk]

Has anyone any experience of putting a weigher on a jcb telehandler?
Do they work ok?
Are they accurate?
What sort of cost?

This was covered on a thread not so long ago I think.

There accuracy depends on the machine, they tend not to work too well on manitous and makes that use the same style of lock out valves Manitou do. I think they will work a bit better on a JCB how ever due to the way the lock out valve operates.

They are expensive too.

ours is hopeless... on a manitou 627, it can vary by 100kg or more sometimes. cost approx £1500 a couple years ago.

However, a customer of ours has the same setup on a jcb 526 i think, and its far more accurate.

In my experience with weighers on shovels in stores and quarries etc, is they are notoriously inaccurate.

I have one on a manitou. Put it this way the newer machine does not have one.

Bump - Any experiences with weighers for JCBs.

I have a RDS alpha10 weigh load on a new jcb 526 which seems to be working very well. The older unit on a 2012 jcb did not work very well due to over complicated hydraulic systems. I think they are well over 2 grand now fitted.
