đźšš Enhancing Transport Trailers Body Builds with Loadsense Scales

Transport & General Engineering Ltd. aka Transport Trailers has built a reputation in New Zealand since 1955 for premium aluminium and Hardox tip truck and trailer bodies—crafted with precision, innovation, and quality equipment designed to endure our toughest conditions. With that same commitment to excellence, integrating Loadsense scales into Transport Trailers bodies brings new value and compliance benefits.

Why Loadsense Scales Are a Perfect Fit for Transport Trailers

  1. Precision Axle‑Group Weighing
    Loadsense’s solution enables body builders to install axle-group scales directly into the tipping bodies or trailers. Operators can record axle-group weights instantly—crucial for ensuring compliance with NZ’s Vehicle Dimensions & Mass Rules (e.g., staying under 44 t or securing HPMV permits) Wikipedia.

  2. Built for Harsh Conditions
    Transport Trailers is known for creating equipment that thrives in rugged environments—from sea walls to demolition sites Transport Trailers. Loadsense scales match this durability, operating reliably amid vibration, dust, moisture, and debris—just like the aluminium and Hardox bodies themselves.

  3. Payload Optimization & Efficiency
    With a tare‑light, high-payload tipping body, operators aim to carry as much as safely permissible. Loadsense scales deliver real‑time axle-group load feedback, enabling drivers to distribute payloads more evenly and avoid overloading—extending trailer body life and reducing maintenance.

  4. Streamlined Compliance
    The body-builder can integrate scales at build time, shipping bodies ready for certification. Brake inspectors, Transport Agency audits, and auditors will appreciate documented axle‑group weights—reducing regulatory delays and simplifying vehicle certifications.

  5. Added Customer Value
    Transport Trailers offers aftermarket parts and full-service support for their truck and trailer body builds. Adding Loadsense scales expands their value—promoting builds integrated with accuracy-tech, ease-of-use, and nationwide compliance backup.

How It Works On The Ground

  1. Integration During Fabrication
    Transport Trailers routes scale sensors between chassis and sub‑frame, incorporating Load‑Sense’s dashboard display or wireless telematics module.

  2. User‑Friendly Weight Check
    Drivers simply level the trailer, hit “weigh”, and within seconds see each axle-group’s loaded weight—on the go, without seeking weighbridges.

  3. Compliance Reports
    Scales hold timestamped weight data. Combined with GPS telematics, data can be exported for proof-of-load, or printout during inspections.

  4. Retrofitting & Ongoing Support
    For existing fleets, Loadsense and Transport Trailers can retrofit scales. And with nationwide support and parts access, maintenance and calibration are hassle‑free .
