How Does an Axle Scale Work?
Now that we know what an axle scale is, its time to talk about how an axle scale works:
The vehicle is made to run over the scale so the wheel load is over the proper sensors. Unlike other scales where all four wheels must be still in order to obtain a measurement, axle scales can work while the vehicle is still moving, even up to almost 5 km/h.

As the vehicle passes through the scale, the metal plates underneath bend and gauge the pressure emitted from the tires above. The more stress on the plates, the more weight the scale calculates.
The scale records the weight derived from each of the individual wheels and adds all of the weights together, known as gross weight.
Axle scales have revolutionalized the way we measure heavy vehicles and loads by making it easier and more efficient to weigh different loads. Some axle scales can even meas
