Portable Vehicle Scales

The most efficient method is installing an onboard sensor matched to the trailer's suspension type—strain gauge for spring/mechanical suspensions or air suspension sensors for air-ride trailers. This allows drivers to check axle and gross weights from the cab before hitting the road, avoiding trips to static scales.

TruckWeight sensors support spring/mechanical suspensions, walking beam, Chalmers systems, and air suspensions. Strain gauge sensors (SG-1/SG-2) cover mechanical and spring-based setups, while the patented air suspension sensor is designed specifically for air-ride trucks, tractors, and trailers.

Strain gauge sensors measure within 0.3-2% of gross vehicle weight, while air suspension sensors achieve 0.3-1% accuracy in all weather conditions. Both sensor types are waterproof, shock-resistant, and corrosion-free, ensuring consistent readings across varying temperatures and driving conditions.

Yes, calibration data is transferable, allowing fleets to move a sensor system from one truck to another without recalibrating from scratch. This reduces downtime and maintenance costs when reassigning equipment across a fleet.

TruckWeight sensors offer reliable wireless monitoring up to 500 feet (155 meters), allowing drivers or ground crew to view weight readings on a handheld display without needing to be inside the cab during loading.

Yes, TruckWeight Analytics provides cloud-based, real-time access to weight data across distributed fleets, integrating with telematics APIs like Google Firestore and BigQuery. This enables centralized monitoring, remote calibration, and auditable compliance records for back-office teams.
