When it comes to transporting bulk powdered products like cement, quicklime, flour, and other dry goods, accuracy in weight measurement is not just a matter of efficiency — it’s a critical requirement for legal compliance, road safety, and operational cost control. At Loadsense Ltd., we specialize in developing reliable, cost-effective onboard weighing systems designed specifically for road tanker trucks and trailers.

Onboard Weighing for Tanker Trucks and Trailers: The Loadsense Advantage

Loadsense has engineered a versatile and highly accurate onboard weighing solution tailored to the unique demands of bulk transport in tankers. Our system supports multiple weighing sensor technologies, including:

  • Load Cell Weighing Sensors – Strategically installed between the tank and the chassis on both trucks and trailers, these sensors deliver exceptionally accurate readings of the loaded weight. Ideal for tankers carrying dense or heavy materials such as cement or quicklime.

  • Air Bag Pressure Sensors – For vehicles with air suspension systems, our onboard weighing system integrates seamlessly with the air bags to provide a reliable approximation of load weight per axle.

By utilizing the right sensor for each axle, our system ensures precision measurement, regardless of the configuration or load distribution of the tanker unit.

Why Accurate Weighing Matters for Road Tankers

Overloading is one of the biggest challenges faced by operators of tanker trucks and trailers. Excess weight can compromise the safety of the driver and other road users, cause unnecessary wear and tear on the vehicle, and result in costly fines or compliance issues.

Loadsense onboard truck scales are designed to:

  • Ensure compliance with local GVM (Gross Vehicle Mass) regulations

  • Prevent overloading before leaving the depot or job site

  • Reduce risk of road accidents caused by unstable or excessive loads

  • Improve fleet efficiency and reduce maintenance costs

  • Provide real-time weight data for better logistics and load planning

Our system is a proven weighing solution for industries handling powdered bulk products, such as cement manufacturers, agricultural suppliers, food processing plants, and industrial chemical distributors.

Built for Durability, Designed for Simplicity

Our onboard weighing systems are built to withstand the harsh environments faced by tanker trucks—whether operating in dusty quarries, industrial zones, or rural highways. The system offers straightforward installation, minimal maintenance, and can be retrofitted onto existing tanker fleets.
