On-board Weighing Solutions

On-Board Payload Monitoring for Safer and More Efficient Fleet Operations

On-board weighing solutions enable operators to monitor vehicle payload directly from the vehicle without relying on fixed weighing stations. By measuring payload during loading and transport, the system helps reduce overloading, improve loading accuracy, and support safer, more efficient fleet operations.

Installed directly on the vehicle, the system uses sensors integrated with the suspension or chassis to continuously measure payload and display real-time weight information inside the cab. Depending on operational requirements, weighing data can also be recorded and shared with fleet management or business systems for improved operational visibility.

System Features and Capabilities

On-board weighing solutions can be configured to suit different vehicle types, payload capacities, and operational requirements. Typical system capabilities include:

  • Real-time payload monitoring
  • Gross, tare, and net weight display
  • In-cab digital operator display
  • Configurable overload alerts
  • Automatic weight recording
  • Vehicle-specific calibration
  • Static and dynamic weighing, depending on the application
  • Wired and wireless communication options
  • Optional ticket printing and digital reporting
