In the rugged and highly regulated logging industry, overloading of trucks and trailers can result in significant safety hazards, costly fines, and operational inefficiencies. That’s why Loadsense Ltd. has developed a cost-effective and highly accurate onboard weighing system specifically engineered for Logging Trucks and Logging Trailers.

Precision Matters: Load Cell Weighing Technology for Logging Trucks

Our onboard weighing solution is built around load cell weighing sensors, the industry standard for accurate weight measurement in logging operations. These robust sensors are strategically mounted between the bolsters on both the logging truck and trailer, allowing operators to get precise weight readings directly from the load-bearing points of the vehicle.

By integrating load cell sensors and optional axle sensors where appropriate, the Loadsense onboard weighing system delivers real-time weight data across all vehicle axles. This ensures that the Gross Vehicle Mass (GVM) is monitored consistently, improving both road safety and compliance with transport regulations.

Why Logging Fleets Choose Loadsense Onboard Weighing Systems

Whether you’re transporting softwood logs, hardwood, or pulp, knowing your exact payload is essential. Here’s why Loadsense’s onboard weighing solution is ideal for your fleet:

  • ✅ Extremely Accurate Weight Readings using high-precision load cells

  • ✅ Prevention of Overloading — avoid hefty fines and improve driver and road safety

  • ✅ Supports Various Weighing Sensor Types — flexible to your vehicle setup

  • ✅ Live Data Monitoring from each axle and bolster point

  • ✅ Fully Compliant with Local Road Weight Laws in regions like New Zealand, Australia, the USA, and Canada

  • ✅ Boosts Operational Efficiency with reduced downtime and improved logistics planning

  • ✅ Cost-Effective and Reliable with long-term durability in forestry environments

Designed for Harsh Logging Conditions

Logging trucks operate in some of the most demanding conditions, including off-road terrain, remote forests, and varied load distributions. Loadsense onboard weighing systems are engineered for these challenges. The ruggedized load cells and smart sensor integrations are built to withstand extreme weather, mud, vibration, and heavy-duty use.

Supporting Light Vehicles and Trailer Configurations

Not just for heavy haulage — our weighing systems are also applicable for light commercial logging vehicles, ensuring accurate load data across the board. This helps small-scale operators stay compliant with Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW) laws and protects against road damage and enforcement penalties.

Improve Safety, Reduce Liability, and Stay Compliant

With overloaded vehicles being a major contributor to road accidents and premature wear of braking systems, implementing a Loadsense weighing solution becomes a matter of health and safety compliance. Our systems help fleets:

  • Maintain legal axle weight limits

  • Reduce the risk of mechanical failures

  • Prevent load shifting accidents

  • Comply with GVM restrictions enforced by local transport authorities

Onboard Weighing Tailored for Your Fleet

Whether you’re operating a fleet of semi-truck logging trailers, rigid logging vehicles, or a combination of drawbar trailers and truck units, Loadsense can tailor an onboard weighing system to suit your setup. Our solutions are modular, scalable, and compatible with most logging truck configurations.
