Frequently Asked Questions
Can the onboard weighing system handle different vehicle types?
Yes, our onboard weighing systems are compatible with a wide range of vehicles including trucks, trailers, and other commercial vehicles. We offer customised solutions based on vehicle type and load capacity.
What is the difference between air, mechanical and air & mechanical systems?
- All-Air Weighing Systems use the vehicle`s air suspension and retrofitted pneumatic sensors connected to the central display enclosure to ultimately determine the vehicle`s weight.
- All-Mechanical Weighing Systems detect the compressive and tensile stresses of the suspension components to calculate the vehicle`s weight value.
- Air & Mechanical Systems combine both suspension types to achieve and maintain accuracy and versatility whilst operating in different loading conditions.
How do I know which weighing system is right for my vehicle?
The right system depends on your vehicle’s suspension type, load capacity, and specific operational requirements. See our product page for more information.
Are your weighing systems legal for trade?
Our weighing systems are essentially axle overload monitors, designed to ensure your vehicle`s axles do not exceed their maximum legal weight. Therefore, it is not recommended that our systems be used on a pay-per-kilo basis.
How often should the onboard weighing system be calibrated?
We recommend calibrating your system annually or as required based on usage to ensure accuracy.
Can I get a customized weighing solution for my specific application?
Yes, we offer tailored solutions based on the unique needs of your operations, whether you’re handling specific load sizes, vehicle configurations, or industry-specific requirements.
Do the systems require any maintenance?
Onboard weighing systems generally require minimal maintenance. However, routine checks and calibrations are recommended to ensure optimal accuracy and performance over time.
Is it difficult to install an onboard weighing system?
Installation varies depending on the system type and vehicle, but it can generally be completed within a few hours. We provide comprehensive installation guides and support.
Do onboard weighing systems interfere with other vehicle components?
No, our systems are designed to integrate smoothly with your vehicle’s existing suspension and electronics without causing interference.
What are the benefits of using an onboard weighing system?
Onboard weighing systems improve operational efficiency by providing real-time weight data, reducing overload risks, increasing vehicle safety, optimizing load distribution, and preventing costly fines and wear-and-tear on vehicles.
Can I install the system on an existing vehicle?
Yes, our onboard weighing systems can be retrofitted to most vehicles. Installation varies depending on the vehicle type and the chosen weighing system (air, mechanical or combination).
Is there a warranty for your onboard weighing systems?
Yes, we provide a warranty with all our onboard weighing systems. The duration and terms depend on the specific system variant and application.
