Accurate Onboard Weighing Built for Kiwi Scania Operators

Scania trucks are a popular choice across New Zealand for their European build quality, fuel efficiency, and smart engineering. Whether you’re driving a Scania R-Series, G-Series, P-Series, or rugged XT model, keeping within axle group weight limits under NZTA rules is essential for avoiding fines, protecting infrastructure, and maximising payload.

Loadsense offers a cost-effective, NZ-compliant onboard Scania truck and trailer weighing system that works across all Scania models—no matter the suspension type or industry application.

Why Axle Group Weighing Matters in New Zealand

Unlike some regions that focus only on gross vehicle weight (GVW), New Zealand transport law places specific limits on:

  • Single, tandem, and tri-axle groups

  • Axle spacing and mass distribution

  • HPMV and 50MAX load certification

Overloaded axles—even on a legally loaded truck—can lead to:

  • Hefty fines

  • Weigh-in-Motion (WIM) detections

  • Lost permit eligibility

  • Increased RUC costs and vehicle wear

With Loadsense onboard weighing, Scania operators can see live axle group weights in real time, helping them comply, optimise loads, and avoid unnecessary trips to the weighbridge.

Loadsense Compatibility with Scania Suspension Types

Scania trucks across New Zealand operate in diverse roles—from metro freight and forestry, to agriculture and civil infrastructure. Loadsense offers sensor options for both air suspension and mechanical spring suspension, making it the perfect match for your specific vehicle setup.

✅ Air Bag Suspension – Pressure Sensor System

Ideal for newer Scania trucks in:

  • Linehaul and metro transport (e.g., R-Series, G-Series)

  • Refrigerated, curtain-side, and flat deck trailers

  • Livestock and container haulage on sealed roads

Loadsense pressure sensors integrate into the air suspension system, reading pressure changes and converting them into live axle weight data.

Benefits:

  • Accurate within NZTA axle group tolerances

  • Cab display or Bluetooth to mobile app

  • Easy calibration – no weighbridge trips required

  • Helps manage RUC and axle spacing permits

✅ Mechanical Spring Suspension – Axle Deflection Sensors

Common on rugged applications, such as:

  • Scania XT models in construction or aggregate

  • Logging or off-road tipper trucks

  • Older Scania models in regional or rural fleets

Axle deflection sensors from Loadsense are built tough for NZ’s varied conditions. These sensors measure spring or axle movement to determine weight—even on uneven terrain.

Benefits:

  • No welding or cutting required

  • Robust design handles dust, mud, and wet conditions

  • Real-time axle group weight visibility

  • Works across truck and trailer setups

Truck and Trailer Integration

Whether you’re pulling a truck and 4-axle dog, a B-train, or a tipper and semi, Loadsense delivers full vehicle weighing integration.

The system combines sensors on both the truck and trailer—whether air, spring, or a combination—into a single unified display, helping you:

  • Avoid overloading

  • Reduce underloading (and lost revenue)

  • Meet NZTA requirements with confidence

Designed for New Zealand Roads and Rules

Loadsense is designed to meet the real-world needs of Kiwi operators by helping them comply with:

  • NZTA axle group limits and VDAM rules

  • HPMV and 50MAX network conditions

  • WIM (Weigh-in-Motion) enforcement systems

  • Accurate RUC calculations

From State Highway hauls to rural access tracks, Loadsense gives Scania operators the power to load smarter, drive safer, and stay compliant.
