Axle Sensors

Strain gauge sensors mount directly to mechanical or spring suspension components and measure physical deflection, while air suspension sensors use temperature and pressure readings from the air bags. Strain gauge sensors suit spring, walking beam, and Chalmers suspensions; air sensors suit air-ride suspension trucks and trailers.

Strain gauge sensors measure within 0.3-2% of gross vehicle weight, while the patented air suspension sensor achieves 0.3-1% accuracy in all weather conditions, giving fleets a reliable estimate before crossing certified public scales.

TruckWeight axle sensors offer reliable wireless monitoring up to 500 feet (155 meters) from the vehicle, allowing drivers or yard personnel to check weight readings without needing to be in the cab.

No. TruckWeight axle sensors are designed for self-installation in minutes, with no special tools or electrical wiring expertise required, minimizing vehicle downtime and installation costs for fleet operators.

Yes. TruckWeight sensors support transferable calibration data, allowing fleets to move a sensor system from one truck to another without needing to fully recalibrate, saving time and reducing service costs.

All TruckWeight axle sensors, including strain gauge and air suspension models, include a 2-year warranty covering the waterproof, shock-resistant, and corrosion-free sensor hardware.
