Heavy-Duty Haulage Needs Heavy-Duty Accuracy
Mack trucks are a legendary name in New Zealand’s transport industry—built tough for applications like logging, quarry work, construction, and linehaul freight. Whether it’s a Mack Granite, Trident, or Super-Liner, you’re carrying serious weight—and that means staying compliant with NZ axle group limits is crucial.
That’s why Loadsense onboard weighing systems for Mack trucks have become a trusted solution across the country. Designed specifically for New Zealand road conditions and Vehicle Dimensions and Mass (VDAM) rules, Loadsense gives Mack truck operators real-time visibility of axle group weights—without relying on guesswork or weighbridges.
Why Mack Truck Operators in NZ Need Real-Time Axle Weighing
New Zealand’s transport sector is under increasing scrutiny, especially with Weigh-in-Motion (WIM) enforcement growing across key freight corridors. Even with legal gross weight, a single overloaded axle group can trigger fines, breaches of 50MAX or HPMV permits, and safety issues.
With a Loadsense onboard weighing system, Mack truck operators get:
-
✅ Live axle group weight readings
-
✅ Alerts for uneven or overloaded axle distribution
-
✅ Better payload optimisation
-
✅ Full NZTA compliance without delay or downtime
