Powered by Loadsense Onboard Weighing Systems

In New Zealand’s fast-paced construction and bulk haulage sector, the pressure is on to deliver heavier loads, cover longer distances, and comply with increasingly strict transport regulations. For operators of tip trucks and trailers, managing axle group weights is not only critical for road safety — it’s essential to staying compliant with NZTA mass limits.

That’s where Loadsense steps in with a smart, cost-effective axle group weighing system, designed specifically for New Zealand roads, vehicle configurations, and compliance standards.

⚖️ Why Axle Group Weighing Matters in New Zealand

Unlike generic weighing methods that only provide a total vehicle weight, axle group weighing measures the load on each axle set — a crucial factor in meeting legal Gross Vehicle Mass (GVM) and axle load restrictions under the NZTA Vehicle Dimensions and Mass Rule 2016.

Overloaded axle groups can result in:

  • Costly infringement notices or instant fines from roadside scales

  • Increased risk of tyre blowouts, brake failure, or loss of control

  • Faster wear on suspension and driveline components

  • Higher Operator Safety Rating System (ORS) risk profile

  • Downtime and delayed deliveries due to roadside compliance checks

By using the Loadsense axle weighing system, you gain the power to monitor and manage your loads in real-time — ensuring that every axle group stays within the legal limits before you even leave the site.

The Loadsense Advantage for Tip Trucks and Trailers

Loadsense’s onboard weighing solution is engineered for heavy-duty New Zealand trucks and trailers operating across sectors like:

  • Quarrying and aggregates

  • Earthmoving and civil construction

  • Rural contracting

  • Infrastructure and roading projects

  • Bulk tipper haulage and site transport

Key Features:

  • ✅ Axle group load monitoring (steer, drive, trailer axles)

  • ✅ Compatible with air suspension and mechanical leaf spring setups

  • ✅ In-cab digital display with live weight data

  • ✅ Optional Bluetooth connectivity for app or fleet integration

  • ✅ Built for rugged NZ conditions (quarry dust, gravel roads, off-road sites)

A Cost-Effective Compliance Solution

Compared to traditional weighbridge use or portable scales, Loadsense offers:

  • One-time installation with no ongoing weighbridge fees

  • Instant feedback for each job and load

  • No need to stop at public weigh stations

  • Fast ROI through reduced fines, optimized payloads, and lower wear and tear

It’s a smart investment for owner-operators, fleet managers, and contractors looking to increase profits while reducing compliance risks.

Designed for New Zealand Roads and Regulations

With roadside enforcement increasing across the country, especially on state highways and major infrastructure corridors, it’s essential to be prepared. The New Zealand Transport Agency (NZTA) is enforcing GVM and axle load rules more proactively — particularly in areas with weigh-in-motion (WIM) technology.

Loadsense axle group weighing systems give you:

  • Instant confirmation of compliance before leaving the site

  • Peace of mind during WIM and roadside inspections

  • Proof of load legality in the event of audits or incidents
