WIRELESS ONBOARD SCALE
TruckWeight’s Smart Scale uses sensors to measure temperature and pressure changes in a vehicle’s air suspension and relay this data to a wireless hand-held receiver. Measurements are within 0.3 percent of the actual gross vehicle weight. A rapid-response mode provides one measurement every three seconds during a 15-minute loading span. The waterproof, weatherproof, shock-resistant and non-corrosive housing requires no regular maintenance. The sensors use AA batteries.
