Smart, Compliant Weighing Solutions for MAN Truck Operators

MAN trucks are known across the globe for their engineering excellence, fuel efficiency, and versatility across distribution, long-haul, construction, and off-road applications. Whether you’re operating a MAN TGX, TGS, TGM, or TGL, staying compliant with axle group weight limits is critical for operational efficiency, safety, and legal compliance.

Enter Loadsense—an industry-leading provider of cost-effective onboard truck and trailer weighing systems designed to give MAN operators real-time, accurate axle group weights without needing to rely on traditional weighbridges or roadside scales.

The Importance of Axle Group Weighing for MAN Trucks

Modern transport regulations place a heavy focus on axle group weight limits to reduce road damage and increase safety. Overloaded axles—regardless of overall gross weight—can lead to significant fines, mechanical wear, and safety risks.

Loadsense scales provide the solution, offering accurate axle group data that helps fleet managers and drivers:

  • Avoid overload penalties

  • Maximise legal payloads

  • Extend vehicle lifespan

  • Increase fuel efficiency

  • Ensure safe, compliant transport across borders

MAN Truck Suspension Types and Compatible Loadsense Sensors

MAN trucks feature a wide variety of suspension setups depending on the model and intended use. Loadsense provides flexible sensor options for both air bag suspension and mechanical spring suspension—making it the perfect fit for any MAN truck or trailer configuration.

✅ Air Bag Suspension – Loadsense Pressure Sensors

Common on MAN’s long-distance and high-spec logistics trucks such as:

  • MAN TGX (Long-Haul & Highway)

  • MAN TGS (Heavy-duty Distribution & Construction)

  • MAN TGM (Medium-Duty Logistics)

These trucks are compatible with Loadsense pressure sensors, which tap directly into the air suspension to deliver accurate readings of axle load based on air pressure changes.

Key Features:

  • Seamless integration into existing air circuits

  • Real-time axle group weights

  • Simple cab or app-based calibration

  • No ongoing service downtime

✅ Mechanical Spring Suspension – Loadsense Axle Deflection Sensors

Some MAN trucks and trailers, especially those in rugged construction, agricultural, or municipal sectors—like the TGS 6×4, TGM 4×2, or older vocational chassis—use mechanical spring suspension.

Loadsense axle deflection sensors are built for these conditions, monitoring the deflection of axles or leaf springs to calculate weight with high accuracy—even in off-road or uneven terrain.

Key Features:

  • Built tough for extreme conditions

  • Ideal for dump trucks, concrete mixers, or fire appliances

  • No need for chassis modifications

  • Reliable, durable, and low-maintenance

MAN Truck & Trailer Combinations – Full Weighing Integration

Loadsense doesn’t stop at the truck. It also fully supports MAN trailers, including:

  • Tandem axle drawbar trailers

  • Tipper trailers

  • Reefer or container trailers

  • Low loaders and plant transporters

Whether your MAN trailer runs on air or spring suspension, Loadsense can install pressure or deflection sensors that integrate into the full system—giving you total vehicle weight and per-axle group data.

Trusted Globally – Perfect for Multi-Nation Compliance
