An axle scale, also known as an axle weighbridge or axle load scale, is a type of weighing device used to measure the weight of individual axles or groups of axles on vehicles such as trucks, trailers, and buses. These scales are designed to provide accurate weight measurements for compliance monitoring, load distribution analysis, and safety purposes.
Axle scales typically consist of multiple weighing pads or platforms, each capable of measuring the weight applied to individual axles or groups of axles. These pads are placed under the wheels of the vehicle, allowing for the simultaneous measurement of multiple axles.
These Scale Systems are modular and easily transportable, making them ideal for applications where large, permanent scales are not practical. Portable static scales operate together to weigh axles, axles groups, and Gross Vehicle Weights
To weigh each axle using an axle scale, the vehicle is driven onto the scale platform, positioning each axle or group of axles on separate weighing pads. The weight applied to each pad is then measured independently, providing individual axle weights or combined axle group weights. This allows operators to assess the distribution of weight across the vehicle and ensure compliance with weight regulations
Portable scale is a general term used to describe any type of lab weighing scale that is easily moved around. This generally includes lab balances that are powered by batteries instead of being plugged in. They are used in many lab applications and can also be used in the field.
