Also called Axle Weigh Pads, Truck Axle Scales or Wheel Pad Scales; Wheel Weighers are typically light-weight, portable scales designed for weighing individual wheels and axles to ensure compliance with legal weight limits. Many models offer connectivity for up to six Wheel Weighers to allow both individual wheel weights and combined axle group weights to be attained in a single weighing transaction for increased weighing accuracy and efficiency.
Weighing accuracy of Wheel Weighers is highly dependend on having all wheels level and in the same plane to avoid inadvertant weight transfer.
