Air-Weigh’s spring-ride trailer scale

Sep 20, 2017

Air-Weigh’s next-generation LoadMaxx Trailer Scale now is available for spring-ride suspensions. LoadMaxx combines the company’s previous LoadMaxx and Quickload trailer scales into one trailer scale with two options: LoadMaxx base model, and LoadMaxx with ComLink. LoadMaxx has an icon-based touchscreen display, built-in LED alarm lights, dual-point calibration, a high-precision pressure sensor for weight accuracy, compensation for temperature and altitude change, PIN-protected calibration and English, Spanish and French language options. The ComLink option is designed to enable drivers to view steer, drive, trailer, GVW and net payload on the display, and tractor/trailer weight information also can be sent to the fleet’s transportation management software system via the built-in data communication interface. When used with the Bluetooth-compatible LoadMaxx Tractor Scale, weight data also is available on any Smartphone or tablet through Air-Weigh’s LoadMaxx App.
