The Hidden Pressure of Every Container Load – Let Loadsense Take the Weight Off

If you operate a swinglift or sidelifter container truck in New Zealand, you know the feeling.

You’re sitting at the port or rail yard. You’ve just picked up a loaded 20-foot or 40-foot container. You didn’t pack it. You don’t know how it’s distributed. And now you’re pulling out onto the highway—unsure if that next Weigh-in-Motion (WIM) system will flag you for an overloaded axle group.

You don’t need to live with that pressure anymore.

Loadsense offers a smart, stress-free, NZTA-compliant weighing solution—built specifically for weighing swinglift and skeletal trailer operators who need to know, in real time, that they’re legal and safe.

The Real Cost of Not Knowing Your Axle Weights

Even when your truck and trailer combination is within gross weight limits, an improperly loaded container can easily overload a single axle group. One WIM camera or roadside weigh check can lead to:

  • Fines on the spot

  • ⛔ Breach of HPMV or 50MAX permits

  • Downtime and delays

  • ⚠️ Safety risks for you and other road users

You don’t deserve that stress—not when there’s a solution that puts you back in control.

Introducing Loadsense – Container Truck Weighing That Works With You

Loadsense onboard weighing systems are designed to accurately monitor axle group weights in real time—no matter where your containers come from, how they’re loaded, or what your suspension setup looks like.

Whether you’re hauling a single sidelift trailer or running a truck and skeletal trailer combo, Loadsense helps you:

  • ✅ Know your axle group weights before leaving the port

  • ✅ Load confidently every time

  • ✅ Avoid WIM fines and inspection headaches

  • ✅ Stay 100% NZTA compliant

Smart Weighing Solutions for Sidelift & Swinglift Configurations

Loadsense works with both air bag and mechanical spring suspension systems, making it ideal for all common sidelift and swinglift container transport builds in NZ.

Air Suspension – Pressure Sensor System

Used on:

  • Air-ride skeletal trailers

Loadsense pressure sensors seamlessly integrate into your suspension and give accurate axle group readings based on pressure changes.

Mechanical Spring Suspension – Axle Deflection Sensors

  • Great for rural, regional, and multi-modal container carriers
