Intelligent on-board weighing for more efficient loading

K-Load is KOBELCO’s integrated load weighing system, designed to help operators achieve faster, more accurate loading operations without interrupting their workflow. By measuring load weight while lifting and swinging, K-Load enables real-time productivity improvements, reduces loading errors, and helps maximize machine efficiency on every job site. Compatible with Quick Hitch systems and featuring fast bucket recalibration, K-Load delivers the flexibility required for modern construction, quarrying, recycling, and material handling applications.

Work efficiently without stopping

Traditional weighing methods often require operators to interrupt the loading cycle. K-Load eliminates this need by performing load measurement during normal lifting and swinging motions.
The weighing process can be started and stopped directly using the grip switch, allowing operators to stay focused on the task without removing their hands from the controls. This seamless integration helps improve cycle times and overall site productivity.

Key benefits

  • Weigh loads while lifting and swinging
  • Improve loading efficiency and cycle times
  • Operate without interrupting workflow
  • Maintain full control through the grip switch
  • Increase loading accuracy and consistency


Avoid overloading and underloading

Accurate truck loading is essential for productivity, transportation efficiency, and site management.

K-Load continuously monitors the current bucket load and cumulative truck load, helping operators achieve their target weight more accurately. Visual notifications and audible alarms provide clear guidance throughout the loading process.

Smart Alarm function

The system alerts the operator when:

  • The target load is approaching
  • The target load would be exceeded with the next bucket
  • Overloading or underloading risks are detected

Easy-to-understand display

K-Load presents all essential loading information on a clear, intuitive monitor screen.

Displayed information includes:

– Current bucket load
– Total truck load
– Target truck load
– Number of loading cycles completed
– Remaining load requirement

This allows operators to make informed decisions quickly and maintain optimal loading accuracy throughout the operation.

Fast bucket change calibration

Changing buckets no longer means lengthy recalibration procedures.
K-Load features a guided calibration process that can be performed directly on-site without the need for standard weights or additional measuring instruments. After a bucket change, recalibration can typically be completed in approximately 10 minutes through a simple machine-guided procedure.

Advantages:

– Quick on-site calibration
– No special tools or standard weights required
– Reduced downtime
– Easy step-by-step guidance via the monitor
