Wireless scale option for trailers
The Smart Scale wireless scale for commercial vehicles is ideal for class 6, 7, and 8 specialty trailers and bodies, as well as many others in heavy scrap, aggregate, recycling and demolition applications. The wireless Smart Scale produces fast, accurate axle-weight and gross vehicle weight readings so customers can load efficiently and maximize rated capacity.

Smart Scale measures temperature and pressure changes in a vehicle’s air suspension and wirelessly relays this data to a handheld receiver using a low-powered radio transmitter. The result is an axle weight and gross vehicle weight measurement that is within 0.3 percent of the actual gross vehicle weight. The wireless reader has a range of 500 feet line-of-sight, so it can deliver measurements to wherever it’s safe or convenient.

Smart Scale is waterproof, weatherproof, shock-resistant, and its non-corrosive housing requires no regular maintenance. The sensors are accurate in temperature extremes ranging from -40 C to 70 C (-40 F to 158 F) and use common AA batteries. Units can be installed in minutes by any operator, with no parts required, and are accurate within 150 pounds every time.
