Axle Scales for Commercial Vehicle Weighing Weigh-In-Motion Scale Systems maximize efficiency by allowing rapid axle weighing of large numbers of vehicles. They are built to withstand heavy use on a variety of surfaces, allowing transport operators to check vehicle axle and gross weights virtually anywhere.
How do you weigh a truck with portable scales?
It should be noted that, with portable truck scales, each axle must be weighed individually. To calculate the net weight of the truckload, all that is needed is to add the measurements of all of the axles, and then subtract the weight of the empty vehicle.
How do axle scales work?
Unlike other scales where all four wheels must be still in order to obtain a measurement, axle scales can work while the vehicle is still moving, even up to almost 5 km/h. The scale records the weight derived from each of the individual wheels and adds all of the weights together, known as gross weight.
What are the different types of weighing scale?
- Analytical balances.
- Compact bench scales.
- Industrial scales.
- Laboratory balances.
- Health Scale and Personal BMI scales.
- Moisture analysers.
- Platform scales.
- Postal, retail and counting scales.
How do car scales work?
The “scale” of a model is it’s size relative to the size of the “real” version. So compared to a 1:24 scale model, the real version is 24 times larger in size or 1:1 in scale. The model on top is “1:18 Scale”, which means it is one eighteenth the size of the real thing.
How much does a drive axle weight?
The federal vehicle weight limits are 80,000 pounds gross vehicle weight, 20,000 pounds on a single axle, and 34,000 pounds on a tandem axle group. States, however, often have different limits.

What is the size of the wheel load scale?
The effective weighing surface is 600mm x 400mm. The scales are therefore big enough for trucks with twin wheels to drive onto without difficulty. We can provide you with wheel load scale software which can display, log and store the measured values of up to 20 weighing platforms on the PC.
What is a portable wheel weigher?
Portable Wheel Weighers are used by many different types of customers. Intercomp’s longest serving fully-electronic, portable wheel load scale is the PT300. Individual scale capacities from 10,000 to 25,000lbs (5,000 to 12,000kgs), with a lightweight platform, weighing just 40lbs (18kgs), so they can be used anywhere.
What can we do with your wheel scales?
Our product range also encompasses portable wheel scales for verification applications. Areas of use are extremely varied. In addition to vehicle weighing alone, centres of gravity and load distributions can be determined with weighing data. Vehicle scales are used in automotive production, motor racing, vehicle modification or export control.
How do wheelchair weighing scales work?
The scale design has 3 major elements: 4 low profile, portable, battery-operated weighing pads, and a wireless remote display. To weigh a patient, a health care provider places a weighing pad in front of each wheel and simply rolls the wheelchair onto the 4 pads.
