Axle Scales can be used for a variety of weighing applications where weighing a truck’s axles is required. Axle Scales are not “Legal-for-trade” weighing devices, which means their weights cannot be used in buying or selling goods. An Axle Scale Systems’ accuracy should be within +/- 0.5% of the gross vehicle weight. (In the State of California the axle weight maximums are as follows: 12,000lb for the steer axle and a 17,000lb for the drive and rear axles, and a combined gross vehicle weight cannot exceed 80,000lbs.) The purpose of axle pads is to provide vehicle axle weights so vehicles are not dispatched with axle weights exceeding legal limits.
