Axle Pad Scales (Wheel Weighers) are advanced portable weighing systems designed for accurate measurement of axle loads and individual wheel weights of vehicles. They are widely used in transport, logistics, agriculture, mining, and industrial operations to ensure legal compliance with load limits and to prevent overloading.
The system typically consists of high-strength aluminum or steel weighing pads placed under each wheel or axle, connected to a digital indicator that calculates precise weight readings. With both static and optional dynamic weighing modes, axle pad scales offer fast, reliable, and field-ready performance.
These wheel weighers are portable, easy to install, and suitable for on-site weighing without the need for permanent infrastructure like a weighbridge. They are ideal for fleet operators who need quick weight checks at loading points, depots, or remote locations.
