Onboard Weighing System

An Onboard Weighing System is used to measure the weight of materials being transported by vehicles (such as trucks, loaders, dumpers, or forklifts) in real-time, directly at the point of loading or transport. This system is commonly employed in industries like mining, construction, waste management, and logistics to improve efficiency, ensure legal load limits, and avoid overloading.
Key Components of an Onboard Weighing System:
Load Cells: Sensors installed on the vehicle’s chassis, axle, or lifting arms to measure the weight of the material. These cells convert the mechanical force exerted by the load into an electrical signal.
Hydraulic Pressure Sensors: In vehicles like loaders or forklifts, hydraulic pressure sensors are installed to measure the pressure in the hydraulic lift system, which correlates to the weight of the load being lifted.
