For the MSI-3700 Magnum Plus Lift Truck Scale

Q: What is the shipping weight of the MSI-3700 Magnum Plus?

A: Less crating, the scale weighs only 165 lb / 85 kg. It is by far the lightest lift truck scale available.

Q: What are some of the benefits of a light scale?

A: Minimal effect on your lift truck's lifting capacity, unrivaled portability and greatly reduced shipping costs.

Q: If the Magnum Plus is so light, how can it be strong and durable?

A: Magnum Plus utilizes advanced engineering design, not sheer bulk, to achieve its strength and durability. The concept, called "stressed skin," is the same technique used in aircraft wings. Streamlined design and materials with high strength-to-weight ratios reduce mass and bulk without compromising strength.

Q: How long does it take to install a Magnum Plus onto a lift truck?

A: Magnum Plus installs quickly in nine easy steps. Installation time depends on the condition of the lift truck carriage, access to the lift truck battery and the experience of the technician. For example, a trained MSI Service Representative can complete the installation less than a half hour. However, that time could double or triple for someone who is unfamiliar with the process. To read the procedure, please see the Magnum Plus User Guide.

Q: Why does Magnum Plus use only a single load cell?

A: A single load cell system is the most practical and efficient weighing design for a lift truck scale. It provides accuracy while simplifying calibration and maintenance. Multiple load cells (two or four) present the possibility of giving the operator erroneous weight readings. And they multiply the risk of expensive repairs.

Q: What options are available if I want to expand my lift truck weighing system?

A: The MSI-3650 indicator provides numerous optional features. You can also expand your weighing system with a fully formattable printer. The optional MSI-3750 digital weight indicator provides comprehensive features for weight data acquisition, accumulation and formatting. Please refer to the Magnum Plus and indicator specifications for more details.
