How to Set Up a Portable Axle Scale in Under 5 Minutes

Problem: Industrial and logistics operations need quick, accurate weight checks for compliance and efficiency. However, conventional truck scales require long setup times, making them impractical for mobile or time-sensitive applications.

Agitate: Delays in weighing lead to bottlenecks, increased labor hours, and risks of non-compliance. Field operators often struggle with bulky equipment and complex calibration processes.

Solution: Hener Portable Axle Scales are engineered for ultra-fast deployment. With plug-and-play functionality, a single operator can set up a complete weighing system in less than five minutes—no tools, no hassle.

Step-by-Step Guide: Setting Up Hener Portable Axle Scales

1. Select a Flat, Solid Surface

• Choose concrete, asphalt, or compacted gravel

• Avoid slopes greater than 5% to ensure accuracy

2. Unpack the Components

• Each Hener system includes:

• 2 to 4 portable axle pads

• Wireless indicator or handheld terminal

• Ramps (if required)

• Battery pack or AC adapter

3. Position the Scale Pads

• Place the pads parallel and aligned with the vehicle path

• Leave space matching axle width

• If using multiple axles, align in series

4. Connect to the Indicator

• Power on the wireless display unit

• Scales automatically sync via Bluetooth or 2.4GHz RF

• No manual pairing required

5. Calibrate (Pre-Calibrated by Hener)

• Hener pads are factory-calibrated

• Optional zero adjustment can be done on-site via the display menu

That's it—ready to weigh!
