A compact way to weigh trucks
A group axle scale weighs one axle or axle group at a time while the vehicle is stationary. The truck moves forward in stages until the required axle groups have been recorded.Lower space and civil requirements
One of the main reasons customers consider group axle weighing is that the physical weighing platforms are much shorter than a full truck weighbridge. That can make the system useful at sites with limited space or where a full bridge is difficult to justify.Better axle information
A normal single-deck weighbridge gives total vehicle mass. Group axle weighing can also show how the mass is distributed between axle groups, which is useful for load distribution and overload management.Data and reporting
With suitable instrumentation and software, axle-group weights, tare information and vehicle details can be stored and used for reports or printed weigh records.When should you choose one?
The right choice depends on whether you need legal-for-trade total weight, axle compliance information, portability, traffic speed, available space and the required accuracy. LMI can compare a group axle system with a conventional weighbridge for your site.Need help with your weighing system?
