Axle Weighers are an economical alternative to full-length weighbridges. They are generally
non-trade approved designs and are useful in obtaining axle weights for Road Transport requirements.
Each axle is weighed in turn - the vehicle driver is prompted to move to the next axle either by a traffic control light or a flashing weight display (see the weight read-out enclosure at left).
The digital weight display captures each axle weight and alternates between displaying the current axle weight and the accumulative total of the axle weights. This total can be sent to a printer or computer, if required.
Axle Weighers are ideal for quarries, warehouses, raw material producers, feedlots, and transport companies/depots. For an alternative method to weighing vehicles, see also Weighbridges, Wheel Weighers, and Automatic Vehicle Weighing Systems.
