Who uses RAVAS iForks-32 and for what
RAVAS iForks-32 are used on forklifts in warehouses, production departments, and quality control where weighing must occur without disassembling or wiring additional components. The absence of cabling allows for quick installation even in combination with fork positioners and rotators. The integrated level correction in the forks compensates for variations in forklift tilt during weighing. The system is compatible with the RAVAS Indicator app and transfers data via WiFi or Bluetooth (optional) to WMS, ERP, and mobile devices. The error message for tip loading with recording alerts to incorrect usage conditions before damage occurs.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can RAVAS iForks-32 be installed on any brand of forklift?
The iForks-32 are available in FEM2 and FEM3 versions compatible with most standard counterbalanced forklifts. The nominal capacity is based on a load center at 500 mm from the carriage plate: loads with a more distant center reduce the effective capacity. Always check the forklift manufacturer's manual before installation.
How long does it take to install the iForks-32?
Installation is plug & weigh: the forks are mounted on the forklift's carriage plate like standard forks, without wiring to the cabin. The indicator is placed in the cabin with the included bracket. Calibration is digital and does not require sample weights in the field. For configurations with fork positioners or rotators, wide claws are available as an option.
What is the autonomy of the Li-ion batteries in the forks?
Each fork has its own 3.7V/5.2Ah Li-ion battery with 75 hours of continuous use autonomy, with a charging station included in the supply. An additional set of batteries is available as an option for continuous operations on multiple shifts. The sleep mode function with automatic start optimizes energy management during periods of inactivity.
Can the iForks-32 transmit weighing data to the company WMS?
Data transfer is available via WiFi or Bluetooth (optional) to devices compatible with the RAVAS Indicator app. RDC (RAVAS Data Collector) and RIS (RAVAS Integration Software) software are available separately for integration with WMS and ERP. An RS232 port is on board for direct connection to a thermal or dot matrix printer.
What does the error message for tip loading mean?
The system automatically detects when the load is placed on the tips of the forks instead of near the carriage plate. This condition reduces the effective capacity of the forklift and causes abnormal wear. The error message appears on the display and is recorded in the internal log, allowing the warehouse manager to monitor and correct operators' loading habits.
Are the 5,000 kg iForks-32 compatible with rotators?
In combination with rotators, the capacity of the 5,000 kg iForks-32 is reduced by 40%, bringing the effective capacity of the weighing system to 3,000 kg. This reduction is independent of the forklift's nominal capacity. For configurations with rotators, wide claws are available as an option. Always check the residual capacity of the forklift after adding the attachment and weighing system.
