Refuse

With the LoadMaxx on-board scale, solid waste collection fleets can easily and efficiently manage legal weight compliance.  Drivers get accurate axle and gross vehicle weights right in the cab on the easy-to-read LCD display.  Give your drivers a tool that helps them operate safely, reduce equipment overloading, and avoid fines and penalties.  With an Air-Weigh scale, your driver will know when it’s time to head to the landfill or transfer station with a safe and legal load.

A smart choice for refuse vehicles with either air ride or mechanical suspensions, Air-Weigh scales are easy to use, easy to install, and easy to maintain.  A dual-point calibration feature provides accurate and reliable weighing in any environmental condition.  Standard scale features include warning and overweight alarms and a data interface for on-board computers to help fleet management monitor vehicle loading more effectively.

Refuse Scale Features

• Designed for vocational vehicles with 
    o Hendrickson HaulMaxx, RT-463 or HN-462 drive suspensions.
     o Mack Camelback drive suspension, Volvo M-Ride drive suspension.
     o Air drive suspensions.
• Alarm outputs with warning and overweight thresholds.  Used as an input to vehicle controls which can be set to prevent driver overloading.
• Pin protection for calibration and alarm outputs.
• Accurate to within 2% of gross vehicle weight or axle group weight for vehicles with mechanical suspensions.
• Accurate to within 300 pounds for each air suspension axle group.
• Includes dual-point calibration with pin-protection for setup and calibration.
• Accuracy is not affected by altitude, temperature, or humidity.
•  Standard J1708, J1939, and RS-232 interfaces for integrating to on-board computers.
• Optional weight receipt printer and inclinometer on some scale.

How It Works

LoadMaxx works on trucks with walking beam, air, and other drive suspensions.  Deflection sensors measure flex for axles with leaf spring suspensions and air pressure sensors measure pressure in the air springs. The LoadMaxx scale converts the sensor measurements into accurate on-the-ground weights.

Will it Work on My Truck

Air-Weigh has scales for most types of refuse vehicles and transfer tractors and trailers.  LoadMaxx has been specifically designed for refuse applications and are accurate, reliable, and built to last. LoadMaxx Scales can be retrofitted on existing vehicles or you can request to include an Air-Weigh scale on new equipment orders. 
 A smart choice for refuse vehicles with either air-ride or mechanical suspensions; LoadMaxx is easy to install, easy to maintain, easy to use, and more affordable than load cells.
