Weigh Axle Weighing
Version 3.5 123
Long Bed Axle Weighing
Long bed axle weighing refers to a scale that is long enough to weigh the entire truck. The weight of
each axle is calculated as the truck drives on the scale. The current axle weight equals the scale weight
minus axle weights already recorded.
Example: This example calculates axle weights on a Weigh Out. A four axle truck enters the scale
area. The entire truck will fit on the scale, however the driver has requested to know the
weight of each axle. The first axle is driven on the scale and weighs 9,000 lbs.
Click the Axle button.
The second axle is driven on the scale. The scale displays 15,000 lbs, click the axle
button. The weight of axle two is the total weight minus axle one (15,000 lbs - 9,000 lbs
= 6,000 lbs). The total weight with the third axle on the scale is 18,000 lbs. The weight
of the third axle is 18,000 lbs - 6,000 lbs - 9,000 lbs = 3,000 lbs. The total weight with
the fourth axle on the scale is 27,000 lbs. The weight of the third axle is 27,000 lbs -
3,000 lbs - 6,000 lbs - 9,000 lbs = 9,000 lbs.
