Truck Scales and Vehicle Weighing

Onboard truck scale sensors typically range from about $700 to $800 per unit, such as the SG-1 ($699) and SG-2 ($799) strain gauge sensors. Accessories like cable harnesses, displays, and printers range from roughly $25 to $2,000. Air suspension sensors and displays are quoted on request, since pricing depends on suspension type and configuration.

Strain gauge sensors measure mechanical deflection and are designed for spring, walking beam, and Chalmers suspension systems, achieving accuracy within 0.3-2% of gross vehicle weight. Air suspension sensors instead measure temperature and pressure changes in air-ride systems, achieving 0.3-1% accuracy. The correct sensor depends on your vehicle's suspension type.

TruckWeight's onboard sensors are rated between 0.3% and 2% of gross vehicle weight depending on the sensor type and suspension configuration. Strain gauge sensors for mechanical suspensions typically achieve 0.3-2% accuracy, while patented air suspension sensors achieve 0.3-1% accuracy in all weather conditions, sufficient for payload optimization and compliance checks.

Yes. TruckWeight sensors store transferable calibration data, allowing the system to be moved from truck to truck without recalibrating from scratch. This is useful for fleets rotating equipment across vehicles or replacing trucks, reducing downtime and installation labor compared to recalibrating a new sensor installation each time.

TruckWeight offers sensors for both air-ride and spring/mechanical suspensions, including walking beam and Chalmers systems. Air suspension sensors suit air-ride tractors and trailers, while strain gauge sensors suit spring trailers, drive axles, and rigid trucks with mixed suspension types. Installation kits are available for each suspension configuration.

TruckWeight Analytics, the cloud-based weight data platform, is described as a low-cost service with no stated monthly data fees or hidden costs. Hardware sensors and displays are purchased outright with a 2-year warranty, though exact analytics pricing and any optional service tiers are provided upon request via quote.
