International Trucks—a flagship brand of Navistar—is a staple in North America’s heavy-duty trucking landscape, and increasingly popular in global markets. Known for their strength, versatility, and vocational performance, International trucks serve diverse industries: from regional freight to construction, municipal waste, and line-haul logistics.

While International trucks are built to haul, staying within legal axle group weight limits is critical. That’s where Loadsense comes in. Our cost-effective, functional onboard truck and trailer scale systems are compatible with all International models, supporting both air bag and mechanical spring suspensions.

Whether you drive a LT Series sleeper, HX vocational rig, or a MV delivery truck, Loadsense gives you real-time axle and gross weight data, helping you avoid overloading, improve safety, and maximise payload on every job.
