MORE THAN A SCALE Loadrite says its L2180 loader scale is more than just an onboard scale; it provides an easy way to capture infor- mation on the loading process where it takes place — on the loader. The scale is said to be designed to produce an accurate and consistent weight every time. It features proprietary Friction and Ambient Compensation Technology (FACT) software to calculate an accurate weight regardless of time of day, ma- chine type, operator, or temperature.
