The Rice Lake CLS Class II forklift scale mounts directly to most Class II forklifts, saving material handling processes time and money. The CLS forklift scale system can be paired with a device for weight display through a cable or cable-less connection. The weight display can either be a Rice Lake Weighing Systems indicator designed for the CLS or virtually through a device that supports the VIRTUi3 software application. There is also an optional USB, Bluetooth, and Wi-Fi connection available for connection to peripheral equipment.

CLS-680 Forklift Scale Display: The CLS-680 was designed from the ground-up specifically for forklift applications. With a machined aluminum anodized enclosure, the CLS-680 is ideal for demanding, general-purpose forklift applications. Its compact size is attached with a RAM mount for flexible positioning and minimal obstruction. Additional features include rounded corners, vibration protection and surge suppression.

  • Six-digit, seven-segment LED display
  • Battery backed time & date
  • On/Off power switch
  • 9 to 36 VDC or 18 to 72 VDC power supply
  • Cabled or cable-less
  • RS-232 serial port
  • Wi-Fi
  • Bluetooth

CLS-920i Forklift Scale Display: The CLS-920i incorporates the flexibility, intelligence and programmability of the 920i in a smaller enclosure with a DC power supply for use on forklifts. The standard program offers weight indication, configuration, calibration and diagnostics specific to the CLS. Customize it for your application with an optional user program.

  • Painted mild steel enclosure
  • Backlit graphical LCD display
  • Battery backed time and date
  • On/Off power switch
  • 9 to 36 VDC power supply
  • Cabled or cable-less
  • Two available RS-232 ports for added options
  • Optional Wi-Fi
  • Optional Bluetooth

VIRTUi³ Forklift Scale Virtual Solution: Weight data is displayed on a device using VIRTUi³ software, creating a virtual indicator. The CLS connects to your device using RS-232, USB or Bluetooth. Choose between the CLS-M or CLS-IM configuration for static or in-motion use.

  • Weight indication device (PC/tablet) is not included
  • Consult factory to verify compatibility with your device
  • Bluetooth connection available
  • USB connection available

Cable-less: The cable-less option removes the coiled communication/power cable between the scale and the indicator. A rechargeable battery is secured to the scale and it powers the scale and the paired wireless modules provide communication.

  • 802.15 wireless interface
  • Lithium-ion battery and charger
  • On/Off power switch
  • Battery life: 24 hours of constant use
  • Battery recharge time: 8 hours to fully recharge
  • Reinforced battery box welded to top cover

Wi-Fi:Wi-Fi is a standard feature for the CLS-680 and is available as a factory installed option for the CLS-920i.

  • Wireless LAN card 802.11 B/G
  • Range: Up to 328 ft indoors
  • Operating frequency: ISM 2.4 GHz

Bluetooth: Bluetooth communication is a standard feature for the CLS-680 and is available as an external option for the 920i. It is also available in a communications/power box for the virtual solution.
