Air Suspension Load Gauges

The appropriate airbag suspension pressure varies by vehicle, suspension configuration, axle group and load. Air pressure should be set according to the vehicle and suspension manufacturer’s specifications rather than a universal value. TruckWeight’s sensor is designed to measure weight from air-suspension conditions, while installation and operating guidance should be confirmed for the specific vehicle.

The Air Suspension Sensor uses patented temperature- and pressure-based sensing technology to interpret air-suspension conditions and calculate axle and gross vehicle weight. The system wirelessly sends readings to compatible handheld or cloud-based interfaces. Calibration data can be transferred from truck to truck, supporting use across compatible fleet vehicles.

The product is designed for air-suspension vehicles, including trucks, tractors and trailers where the suspension configuration supports the system. Product information also identifies applications such as fleets, mining, agriculture, refuse, steel, asphalt, aggregates and forest products. Confirm vehicle and suspension compatibility with TruckWeight before purchase.

Readings are available through handheld display and cloud-based analytics options. TruckWeight identifies axle weight and gross vehicle weight as supported measurements, while its analytics platform supports fleet weight-data visibility and related back-office workflows. The appropriate readout option depends on how the fleet wants to monitor and manage vehicle weight information.

TruckWeight states accuracy between 0.3% and 1% in all weather conditions for the Air Suspension Sensor. Actual results depend on correct installation, calibration, vehicle configuration and operating conditions. Transferable calibration data can help move an established setup from truck to truck when used with compatible vehicles.

The Air Suspension Sensor is described as easy to install in minutes without special tools or special knowledge. Installation still needs to follow the applicable product guidance and vehicle configuration requirements. TruckWeight can provide quote consultation and support resources to help confirm the appropriate system and setup for the intended air-suspension application.
