Axle Weighing Pads for Portable Vehicle Weighing
While maintaining durability and consistency, axle weigh pads are easily portable. An axle scale measures the weight of every axle on a truck. Following the weighing of one axle, the vehicle drives forward to weigh the next.
In conjunction with a weight indicator, the total weight will be displayed after all axles have been measured. Axle Weigh Pads are an ideal choice for sites limited with space, or looking for a solution that can be quickly and easily relocated to where required.
Axle Weighing Pad Features
Frequent Relocation
Operations that frequently move between sites can take advantage of the portability of axle weighing pads, avoiding the significant time and expense involved in dismantling and re-installing a weighbridge.
Seasonal Usage
Farmers and agricultural businesses with seasonal peak periods may find axle weighing pads more practical as they can be stored away when not in use and deployed quickly during harvest times.
Mobile Operations
For businesses that need to weigh vehicles at different locations such as caravan weighers, axle weighing pads provide the flexibility to set up and use on-site quickly, without the need for permanent infrastructure.
Space Constraints
In urban areas or locations with limited space, axle weighing pads require less space and infrastructure compared to a traditional weighbridge.
Flexibility
For sites needing to weigh vehicles at various points within a facility or at multiple sites, axle weighing pads offer the convenience of mobility and ease of use.
Cost Efficiency
Companies with budget constraints or lower volume weighing needs can benefit from the lower initial investment and maintenance costs of axle weighing pads compared to a weighbridge.
Best Fit Applications
For Vehicle Weighing Pads
Sites with limited space availability
In environments where space is a premium, such as busy warehouses, logistics hubs, or construction sites, axle weigh pads offer an excellent solution. These portable pads are compact and easy to deploy, making them ideal for locations with limited space. They can be set up quickly without the need for large-scale infrastructure, allowing you to conduct accurate weight measurements without requiring dedicated, permanent weighbridge stations.
Sites that do not require daily weighing
For operations that do not need to weigh vehicles every day, axle weigh pads provide a cost-effective and efficient solution. They can be deployed only when necessary for occasional checks, ensuring that vehicles stay within legal weight limits without the need for a permanent weighbridge system. This flexibility is perfect for seasonal or intermittent weighing needs, reducing capital costs while maintaining compliance.
Sites that require weighing of vehicles in multiple locations
If your operations require weighing vehicles across multiple sites or locations, axle weighing pads offer unmatched flexibility. These portable units can be moved between different areas, allowing for real-time weighing at various points in your operation. Whether you’re monitoring trucks at loading docks, construction sites, or remote delivery locations, axle weighing pads enable you to easily conduct weight checks wherever and whenever they are needed, without the need for a fixed weighing station.
Legal for trade weighing
For businesses that require certified weight measurements for commercial transactions, axle weigh pads can be supplied as part of a legal for trade approved system. In Australia, this means compliance with the requirements set by the National Measurement Institute (NMI), ensuring all recorded weights are accurate, verifiable, and suitable for buying or selling goods by weight.
To achieve this level of compliance, axle weigh pads must be used as a complete, approved system — typically including the pads, indicator, and a levelling or equalisation kit. The levelling kit ensures all axles are weighed on a consistent plane, eliminating inaccuracies caused by uneven ground and helping the system meet strict trade measurement tolerances.
Axle Pad Configurations
WWS Static Weighing Kit
WWS Dynamic Axle Weighing Kit
WWS is the most cost-effective solution patented by Dini Argeo for weighing a vehicle. Thanks to the low weight and ease of transport, in just a few minutes it is possible to create a weighing station for weighing 2-axle vehicles.
- Compared to a traditional weighbridge, it does not require masonry work that can permanently occupy part of the yard space and is easily transportable.
The vehicle weighing kit is ideal to:
- Weigh 2-axle vehicles and vans.
- Check the weight of the material transported by the vehicle and carry out simple checks on incoming/outgoing goods.
- Weigh for limited periods of time (harvests, crops, etc..) without the need for excavations or masonry work.
- Check for any vehicle overloads, avoiding penalties.
Weighs the vehicle axles and calculates the total weight. Consisting of two WWS series portable pads and the touch screen weighing terminal with integrated printer. Wireless version.
The axle weighing kit is ideal to:
- Weigh any type of vehicle regardless of the number of axles.
- Check the weight of the material transported by the vehicle and carry out simple checks on incoming/outgoing goods.
- Check the weight of each axle or of all the various sums of weights.
- Weigh for limited periods of time (harvests, crops, etc..) without the need for excavations or masonry work.
- Check for any vehicle overloads, avoiding penalties.
Axle Pad Construction
Made in a special alloy of high resistance, sturdy but light..
With IP68 protection.
For good grip on all types of surfaces.
Touch Screen Weight Indicator with Transport Case
The digital weight indicator features a large touch screen display, making it ideal for weighing vehicles, planes, and objects with multiple points of support. This device allows users to view all weighing data and customise screens, simplifying operations.
It is equipped with three serial ports, supports various data transmission protocols, offers fully configurable printouts, includes integrated alibi memory, and has a port for connecting to a barcode or badge reader. It is CE-M approvable (OIML R-76 / EN 45501).
‘EASY LEVEL’ Aluminium Levelling Kit
Transportable Levelling Modules, made from durable aluminium and designed to revolutionise your weighing operations. Perfect for both mobile and fixed axle weighing stations, these modules enhance the accuracy of weight readings by ensuring optimal load distribution across axles during weighing sessions.
In applications requiring legal for trade weighing, these levelling modules play a vital role in compliance. When used as part of an approved weighing setup in line with the requirements of the National Measurement Institute (NMI), they help ensure that all axles are weighed on a consistent plane. This is essential for achieving accurate, repeatable measurements that meet strict trade measurement tolerances.
Specifically tailored for compatibility with our WWSE and WWSD series platforms, these modules support both operational efficiency and regulatory compliance, making them ideal for businesses that require certified, verifiable weight data.
Available in two sizes to accommodate different platform models:
- For WWSE: Dimensions of 990 x 59 x 700 mm (L x H x W)
- For WWSD: Dimensions of 650 x 59 x 900 mm (L x H x W)
