PORTLAND, OREGON, May 8, 2012 - Cascade Corporation, world leader of Lift Truck Attachments introduces their new line of Mobile Weighing products to the European Market. Partnering with Ravas EU, Cascade offers two systems; iForks and hWeigh^TM to ensure a perfect mobile weighing solution for your application. Now you can eliminate floor scales, the valuable space they take up and the extra time it takes to stop and weigh. Cascade has been selling these products in other markets for over a year.

iForks are the next generation of weighing forks. Completely wireless with no data cables running from the forks to the driver display, the iForks can be installed in minutes, just Plug & Weigh. Thanks to Bluetooth^® technology iForks are the world's first completely wireless weighing system for lift trucks. iForks are available for Class 2 or 3 lift trucks and have a capacity range from 2500kg to 5000kg. Legal for trade (OIML) models are also available for applications where items are billed based on measured weight.

To learn more about iForks please visit www.cascadeiforks.com

hWeigh^TM is designed for applications where standard forks are not used or when the absolute accuracy of iForks is not required. (hWeigh^TM is not suitable for "legal for trade" applications.) The hWeigh^TM system weighs by measuring the pressure in the hydraulic circuit of the lift truck and has a standard capacity of up to 10 tons. hWeigh^TM is the perfect system to use with most any attachment including clamps, rotators and more.

Both iForks and hWeigh^TM systems have options available that will allow you to capture, transfer or print the data collected from your new mobile weighing system and can integrate into your existing WMS or other data communication system. The backlit driver display has many features including code entry, date and time registration, gross, net, tare, accumulation along with the basic scale functions.

Additional information on iForks and hWeigh^TM systems can be found on the Cascade website at www.cascorp.com
