Smarter Weighing for Kiwi Hino Operators

Hino trucks are widely used across New Zealand in industries ranging from freight and construction to agriculture and municipal services. Whether you’re driving a Hino 500 Series tipper, a 700 Series bulk hauler, or a 300 Series delivery truck, monitoring axle group weights is critical for legal compliance and operational efficiency.

Loadsense provides a cost-effective onboard Hino truck and trailer weighing solution designed specifically for New Zealand operators—delivering accurate axle group data in real time while keeping your Hino within NZTA mass limits.

The Importance of Axle Group Compliance in NZ

New Zealand transport regulations, governed by NZTA’s Vehicle Dimensions and Mass (VDAM) Rule, enforce strict axle group weight limits—not just gross vehicle weight. That means:

  • A legally loaded Hino can still be fined if an axle group is overweight

  • Weigh-in-Motion (WIM) systems detect breaches automatically

  • Permit conditions like 50MAX or HPMV can be revoked after non-compliance

With Loadsense, you can monitor each axle group in real time, reducing risks, avoiding fines, and improving load efficiency.

Built to Fit All Hino Models and Suspension Types

Hino trucks in New Zealand use a mix of air bag suspension and mechanical spring suspension, depending on their application. Loadsense supports both with specialised sensor options.

✅ Air Bag Suspension – Pressure Sensor Solution

Ideal for:

  • Hino 700 Series (long-haul and heavy freight)

  • Some 500 Series models in metro distribution or tipper work

  • Trailers running full air suspension setups

Loadsense pressure sensors plug directly into the truck’s air suspension system to calculate axle loads with high accuracy.

Features:

  • Seamless install – no welding or cutting

  • Real-time axle group data on in-cab display or app

  • Simple one-person calibration

  • Ideal for sealed road and long-haul applications

✅ Mechanical Spring Suspension – Axle Deflection Sensors

Common on:

  • Hino 500 Series tipper and logging trucks

  • Hino 300 Series delivery vehicles

  • Construction, agriculture, and off-road fleets

Loadsense deflection sensors measure the movement of the spring or axle to estimate weight—even on uneven or off-road surfaces.

Features:

  • Rugged, weatherproof construction

  • Works in mud, dust, and harsh NZ terrain

  • No downtime for install

  • Perfect for contractors and rural operators

Integrated Weighing for Truck and Trailer

Whether you’re hauling a 4-axle dog, a semi, or a B-train, Loadsense integrates both truck and trailer sensors into a single, user-friendly system. This gives you total visibility across all axle groups—keeping your entire unit compliant.

Scenarios supported:

  • Hino 500 tipper + dog

  • Hino 700 + curtainsider trailer

  • Hino 300 with tag axle or plant trailer
