Overloading of lorries and other vehicles is not only a road safety risk but also a considerable expense: think of fines, extra wear and damage to roads. Fortunately there is a simple and effective solution: axle weighing systems.
Why choose an axle weighing system?
Unlike a traditional weighbridge – which only records the total weight of a vehicle – an axle weighing system measures the weight of each individual axle. This is crucial to:
-
Prevent overloading per axle
-
Distribute the load properly
-
Comply with legal limits
-
Prevent accidents and damage
Practical and versatile in use
A good axle weighing system not only provides accurate measurements, but also extensive recording and reporting functions, such as:
-
Thermal printer: an immediate weighing ticket with date and time
-
Alibi memory: secure and verifiable data storage
-
USB connection: for easy export to Excel or other applications

Government checks on overloading
The Dutch authorities are increasingly strict in checking for overloading, using advanced weigh-in-motion plates built into roads at more than 50 locations. An excessive axle load leads not only to hefty fines but also to accelerated wear of the road surface – with expensive repair costs as a result.
Accidents caused by overloading: a daily reality
Every day there are reports of lorries that have overturned or lost their load. Overloading or incorrect weight distribution often turns out to be the cause. With an axle weighing system you can rule out these risks in advance.
Avoid fines and risks
With a static axle weighing system you weigh each axle separately. This helps you avoid fines, comply with regulations and safeguard your drivers and other road users.
