Built for Big Loads – Made for New Zealand Roads

Kenworth trucks are synonymous with power, durability, and performance—the go-to choice for many New Zealand operators in logging, freight, construction, and heavy haulage. Whether you’re behind the wheel of a T610, K200, or C509, one thing’s for sure: compliance with axle group weight limits is critical to keeping your rig on the road and avoiding costly fines.

Loadsense delivers a smart, cost-effective onboard weighing system for Kenworth trucks specifically designed for New Zealand conditions and regulations, giving Kenworth operators real-time visibility of axle group weights—right from the cab or mobile device.

Why Axle Group Weighing Matters in NZ

New Zealand’s Vehicle Dimensions and Mass (VDAM) Rule places strict legal limits on:

  • Axle and axle group mass

  • Vehicle gross weight

  • Bridge formula compliance

  • 50MAX and HPMV permit conditions

  • Enforcement via Weigh-in-Motion (WIM) on state highways

Even if your Kenworth is under legal gross weight, one overloaded axle group can result in an instant fine or breach of permit—impacting your ability to operate.

With Loadsense onboard scales, you can monitor axle weights in real time, helping you load smarter, drive safer, and avoid surprises at the roadside.
