SYSTEM AND METHOD OF CALCULATING A PAYLOAD WEIGHT
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A system of calculating a payload weight, the system including:
- a first sensor configured to assist in determining an actuator load associated with a ram, the ram being connected to a lifting member; and
a calibration module configured to retrieve a calibration factor based on movement of the ram, the calibration factor being applied to the actuator load to thereby provide an adjusted actuator load;
wherein the payload weight is calculated based on the adjusted actuator load.
