    Air-Weigh has expanded its on-board scale product family with the addition of the QuickLoad Scale, an affordably-priced, easy to install and use weighing solution designed for use on dedicated tractor trailer configurations and straight trucks.

    The new scale, packaged in a compact, backlit in-dash display, offers many of the features currently offered by Air-Weigh. It monitors steer, drive, and trailer axles on the display, and automatically calculates gross vehicle weight (GVW) and net payload.

    With several air and axle deflection sensor kits available, the new scale can to be tailored to a variety of vehicle configurations.

    The QuickLoad on-board scale converts tractor and trailer suspension loads to an accurate on-the-ground weight. By comparing empty and loaded axle group weights with empty and loaded suspension pressures, the scale can be calibrated to display accurate weights at any suspension load.
