Accurate and Affordable Weighing for Gantry Skip Waste Trucks

In the waste and recycling industry, precision matters. For operators of Gantry Skip Waste Trucks, ensuring accurate load measurement is essential—not only for operational efficiency but also for legal compliance and road safety. That’s where Loadsense Scales come in—a cost-effective, easy-to-use truck and trailer weighing solution designed for both air bag and mechanical spring suspension setups.

Whether you’re operating in New Zealand, Australia, the USA, Canada, the UK, or across Europe, Loadsense offers a reliable weighing solution that helps you manage weight distribution across axle groups, comply with national overloading regulations, and maximise productivity.

Why Weighing Matters for Gantry Skip Waste Trucks

Gantry skip trucks are uniquely challenged by variable load weights, unpredictable waste contents, and off-center skips. Without a robust weighing system, these trucks risk:

  • Overloaded axle groups

  • Fines for non-compliance with road safety laws

  • Increased wear and tear on suspension and braking systems

  • Inefficient load management and reduced fuel efficiency

Loadsense helps you overcome these issues with onboard scales that are engineered for reliability, simple to calibrate, and affordable to install.

Loadsense Load Cell Systems: Tailored for Every Suspension Type

✅ Air Bag Suspension Weighing

For Gantry Skip Trucks fitted with air bag suspension systems, Loadsense uses advanced air pressure sensors that measure the pressure in the suspension bags. This data is converted into real-time weight readings, ensuring:

  • Precise monitoring of payload

  • Safe load balancing

  • Instant feedback in the cab or remotely

Key benefits:

  • No interference with skip lifting or unloading

  • Seamless integration with onboard electronics

  • Plug-and-play calibration

✅ Mechanical Spring Suspension Scales

For trucks using mechanical leaf spring suspension, Loadsense installs strain gauge-based load cells directly onto the chassis or suspension brackets. These are rugged and purpose-built to withstand the tough conditions common in the waste and skip industries.

Key benefits:

  • Durable performance on rough terrain

  • Accurate readings under uneven load distributions

  • Suitable for retrofitting existing trucks

Easy to Use. Easy to Calibrate.

One of the standout features of the Loadsense Truck Scale is its user-friendly interface. Whether you’re managing a fleet or driving solo, the system is:

  • Quick to install

  • Simple to calibrate in the field

  • Fully compatible with in-cab displays

Calibration can be done using a single known load or during regular operations—no specialist technicians required.

Comply with Local Regulations—Avoid Fines and Downtime

Each country has strict regulations when it comes to truck overloading and weight distribution:

  • NZTA and Road User Charges in New Zealand

  • NHVR compliance in Australia

  • DOT regulations across the USA and Canada

  • DVSA rules in the UK

  • EU Road Safety Directives in Europe

By installing Loadsense onboard weighing scales, you demonstrate due diligence and compliance with these rules, helping avoid fines, inspection delays, and licence penalties.
