What are portable vehicle scales, and what are they used for?
A portable vehicle scale also called an axle scale, is a weighing system used to obtain accurate weight readings pertaining to the load a truck, semi-truck, car, or aircraft is carrying. The vehicle is driven over a low-profile platform on portable truck scales to determine the load's weight precisely.
These scales are often completely portable, so drivers can transport them easily, and they feature a modular design to fit both tires. They also use USA measurements and are available for indoor or outdoor use with a rechargeable battery for greater convenience.
Some heavy-duty truck scales also have a built-in printer or removable ramps.
A load cell is typically installed at the center of the scale's surface to make it easier to weigh the truckload and communicate data to a remote interface. We provide a range of scales for dual tires. Contact us for more information!.
