I NEED HELP TROUBLESHOOTING MY SCALE

We recommend you contact our customer support team at 888-459-3247 anytime you need help with your scale.

HOW DO I USE MY SCALE?

In order to get an accurate weight with your on-board scale, park your vehicle on level ground with the engine running and the brakes released. For air ride, briefly deflate the air suspension and inflate to ride height. Weights are displayed on the easy-to-read digital display.

HOW DOES MY SCALE WORK?

Air-Weigh scales work on all air ride suspensions and most trucks with mechanical or spring-based suspensions. Air pressure sensors measure pressure in the air springs, and deflection sensors measure flex of axles or beams for mechanical suspensions. The scale converts the sensor measurements into accurate on-the-ground weights.

PEOPLE SAY THE NICEST THINGS

View All Case Studies

Toyota

“With EVs, the cars are getting heavier. With every electrification point of a vehicle, it’s 200 to 300 more pounds vs. a gas version. A hybrid is 200 to 300 pounds more than the gas car and a full EV is another 200 to 300 pounds. That makes these scales all the more critical.”

Mike VanderPloeg Operations Supervisor

Dirt Dawgs Trucking

“We use Air-Weigh scales to ensure that we pick up a full load every time. In fact, the first big haul after we installed them paid for the scales! I also like the peace of mind of knowing we won’t get an overweight ticket.”
