Smart Weighing for New Zealand’s Most Versatile Truck Brand

Mitsubishi Fuso trucks are a staple of New Zealand’s transport industry—trusted by operators in freight, construction, waste, agriculture, and council services. Whether you’re running a Canter (light-duty), Fighter (medium-duty), or Shogun (heavy-duty), keeping your axle group weights legal and optimised is more important than ever.

Loadsense offers an affordable, easy-to-install onboard Fuso truck weighing system designed for New Zealand conditions and fully compliant with NZTA mass and dimension rules.

Why Axle Group Weighing Is a Must in New Zealand

New Zealand’s Vehicle Dimensions and Mass (VDAM) Rule 2016 enforces strict limits not just on gross vehicle weight (GVW), but also on:

  • Single, tandem, and tri-axle group weights

  • Axle spacing

  • Mass limits on 50MAX and HPMV routes

  • Real-time enforcement using Weigh-in-Motion (WIM) sites across key highways

Even if your Fuso is under gross weight, an overloaded axle group can still trigger a fine or compliance breach. Loadsense helps you avoid that risk by giving live axle group readings in the cab or via mobile.

Built for Mitsubishi Fuso’s Suspension Systems

Loadsense scales are designed to work with both air bag and mechanical spring suspensions, which are commonly used across the Mitsubishi Fuso range.

✅ Air Bag Suspension – Pressure Sensor System

Common on:

  • Fuso Shogun (6×4 or 8×4 tractor/trailer)

  • Fuso Fighter with factory or aftermarket air suspension

  • Fuso trucks with air-sprung trailers

Loadsense pressure sensors install directly into your Fuso’s air suspension lines, delivering real-time, accurate readings of axle weights based on air pressure levels.

Key Benefits:

  • Seamless install with no custom fabrication

  • High accuracy and responsiveness

  • Easy to calibrate with in-cab display or mobile app

  • Excellent for metro freight and long-distance linehaul

✅ Mechanical Spring Suspension – Axle Deflection Sensors

Used across:

  • Fuso Canter light-duty trucks (3.5T–8T)

  • Fuso Fighter 4×2, 6×2, and 6×4 configurations

  • Rural and construction-based Shogun builds

Loadsense deflection sensors attach to leaf or parabolic springs and measure movement under load to calculate axle group weights.

Key Benefits:

  • Rugged and waterproof design for harsh NZ terrain

  • Ideal for off-road, agricultural, and stop-start urban work

  • No welding or frame drilling required

  • Simple, cost-effective solution for smaller fleets

Trailer Scale Integration for Fuso Combinations

Loadsense scales can be installed on trailers of any type, including:

  • Tipper trailers

  • Tag-alongs and dog trailers

  • Semi-trailers and B-doubles

Whether the trailer runs air suspension or mechanical springs, Loadsense integrates both systems into a single display—giving you accurate total and axle group weights across your entire Fuso rig.

Loadsense helps Mitsubishi Fuso operators across NZ comply with:

  • ✅ Axle group limits under VDAM
