Smarter Bulk Material Scales for Fleets

Bulk material scales are weighing systems used to measure loads such as aggregate, asphalt, soil, grain, refuse, minerals, and other hauled materials. TruckWeight onboard systems help commercial truck operators view gross, net, and axle weights directly from the vehicle or nearby. This supports more informed loading decisions without requiring every load to be checked at an external weigh station.

Onboard scales use sensors installed on truck, tractor, or trailer suspension systems to estimate vehicle weight from suspension response. TruckWeight offers solutions for mechanical and air-ride configurations, then presents weight information through displays and connected software. Depending on the setup, operators can monitor axle groups, gross vehicle weight, and net payload while loading or hauling material.

Onboard scales provide weight visibility during loading, allowing an operator to identify when a load approaches a planned limit before leaving the site. This can help fleets support their internal weight-compliance procedures, reduce reliance on guesswork, and avoid unnecessary reloading or out-of-route trips. Final compliance responsibility remains with the fleet and applicable jurisdictional requirements.

Yes. TruckWeight products are designed for commercial trucks, tractors, and trailers with air and spring suspension configurations. The company offers air-suspension sensors and strain-gauge sensor options for mechanical suspensions. Selecting the right system depends on vehicle configuration, hauling application, desired weight measurements, and the operating environment, so equipment details should be reviewed before choosing a solution.

Full Remote Calibration is a cloud-based service that enables remote calibration of onboard scale sensors and system configuration. It helps teams maintain scale performance without requiring calibration work to be managed solely at the vehicle. Back-office personnel can use this capability to support quality-control processes, identify equipment that may require attention, and maintain more consistent fleet weight data.

TruckWeight Analytics stores, shares, verifies, records, reports, and analyzes onboard truck and trailer weight data. Features include real-time data access, overweight events and alerts, centralized monitoring of trucks and sensors, auditable safety records, and support for calibration workflows. The platform can also help connect weight information with maintenance, dispatch, compliance, and payload-management activities.

Yes. The Smart Data Pipeline is designed to integrate onboard scale weight data with cloud platforms and telematics APIs. TruckWeight documentation references Google Firestore, BigQuery, and PubSub for data access and dissemination. This can give drivers and back-office teams a shared source of weight information, helping reduce manual coordination and improve reporting possibilities across a fleet.

Calibration frequency should reflect the fleet's operating conditions, equipment use, internal quality standards, and the precision needed for its hauling work. Fleets should also review calibration after sensor service, vehicle changes, or when readings appear inconsistent. TruckWeight's remote calibration capability can support ongoing calibration and quality-control workflows by making system adjustments and checks easier to manage.
