Fit your construction vehicles, tow trucks, and commercial vans with Air-Weigh on-board scales and get reliable, accurate axle weights right at the loading site.
The Air-Weigh straight truck scale works on most trucks with front spring suspensions and air suspension or walking beam suspension on the drive axles. It converts air pressure in the drive axle air springs or the deflection of the walking beams into a very accurate on-the-ground weight.

How it works
Easy to operate
The in-dash display accurately shows the steer and drive axle group weights, GVW and NET payload weights. Warning and overweight alarm outputs are standard. Weight receipts can be printed on an optional printer. The scale also has a J1708 or J1939 interface that can be used to transmit weight information to on-board computers.
The Air-Weigh straight truck scale works on most trucks with front spring suspensions and air suspension or walking beam suspension on the drive axles. It converts air pressure in the drive axle air springs or the deflection of the walking beams into a very accurate on-the-ground weight. A deflection sensor measures the flex of the vehicle’s steer axle, providing an accurate weight indication for vehicles with leaf spring front axles. Once calibrated, the straight truck scale displays the weights of the drive and steer axle groups and gross vehicle weight (GVW). Properly calibrated and used, Air-Weigh straight truck scales are accurate to within 300 lbs on each air suspension group and within 2% of GVW on trucks with walking beam suspensions.
Air-Weigh’s simple on-screen menu makes it easy to setup and calibrate your scale. Drivers can learn to use Air-Weigh scales in just a few minutes. Air-Weigh has both instruction cards and videos available for training drivers on proper scale operation. Scale operation involves parking the vehicle on a level surface with the engine running, wheels straight, and the brakes released.
