Road Axle Truck Scales are heavy-duty portable or semi-portable weighing systems designed to accurately measure the axle loads and total weight of heavy-duty trucks, trailers, buses, and industrial transport vehicles.
These systems are widely used in transport enforcement, logistics yards, construction sites, mining operations, and border control stations to ensure vehicles comply with road weight regulations and to prevent overloading damage to roads and bridges.
The system works by placing each axle of the vehicle onto high-strength weighing platforms. Each axle is weighed individually, and the system automatically calculates the total gross vehicle weight. Depending on the model, weighing can be performed in static mode (stationary vehicles) or dynamic mode (low-speed drive-over weighing).
Built with industrial-grade materials and precision load cell technology, road axle scales provide fast, reliable, and repeatable measurements even in harsh outdoor environments.
