About Us
TruckWeight Inc. is a provider of accurate, wireless truck scales
that helps North America's trucking companies reduce overweight
fines, eliminate out-of-route miles, maximize loads, and increase
revenue and driver productivity.
Beginning in 2002 in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada, TruckWeight
was created to fill the gap left by existing vehicle weighing
technologies. Prior to TruckWeight, companies could either:
1. Use pay-per-use scales that result in out-of-rout miles and
lost productivity.
2. Invest in expensive, station-based scales.
3. Leverage complex, vehicle-based systems that are complex, difficult
to install, and are generally beyond the price range of most mid-sized
trucking companies.
4. Use an inaccurate air gauge that still result in scale charges,
out-of-route miles, and wasted time and fuel.
Smart Scale is an accurate, affordable way to eliminate the complicated
installation,vmaintenance, and downtime associated with hardwired
onboard scales. Based on temperature and pressure changes in your
vehicle’s air suspension, Smart Scale calculates axle weight
and gross vehicle weight measurements that are accurate to within
0.3%, or roughly 150 pounds.
Because it’s wireless, Smart Scale lets you monitor gross
and axle weights from up to 500 feet away: inside the cab, on
the loader, or wherever it’s safe and convenient.
Features & Benefi ts
• Maximize payload, improve productivity
• Eliminate overweight violations and time spent redistributing
loads
• Quick, simple installation: no special tools or skills
• 500-foot wireless range
• Low-powered radio signals make Smart Scale intrinsically
safe
• Accurate to within 0.3% of actual gross vehicle weight
• 2-year warranty
• Waterproof, weatherproof, shock-resistant, non-corrosive
housing requires no regularmaintenance. Sensors
use AA batteries for power.
Applications
Ideal for commercial truck operators who want a simple, accurate
way to meet payload targets, load effi ciently, and eliminate
overweight violations. Key prospects: haulers of refuse, steel,
agriculture, asphalt, aggregates,
forest products, containerized freight and liquid and dry bulk
products.
Installation
Smart Scale is the simplest scale on the market to install. It
has just three components:
the Smart Sensor with integrated antenna and 3/8 inch fi ttings;
a tee fi tting for the air line; and the wireless handheld receiver.
Installation typically takes 30 minutes for a standard five-axle
tractor-trailer and requires no special tools or skills.
