axle load scale ALW-1 (one-piece)

Axle load scale ALW-1 – Precise drive-over scale for agriculture and industry

The ALW-1 axle load scale is a robust and versatile drive-over scale specifically designed for underfloor installation. With precise axle detection, a 3.5-meter-wide weighing platform, and the ability to perform static and dynamic weighing, it is ideal for agricultural vehicles, industrial machinery, trucks, and trailers. Whether checking axle loads or total weight, the ALW-1 axle load scale delivers reliable results for a wide range of applications.

Main features of the ALW-1 axle load scale

• Reliable axis detection: Precise detection of each axis during dynamic and static weighing.

• Drive-over scale: Dynamic weighing allows weight measurement without stopping – simply drive slowly over the scale.

• Large weighing area: With a width of 3.5 meters, even wide vehicles such as combine harvesters and special vehicles can be weighed without any problems.
  
• Maximum load capacity: Up to 20,000 kg
  
• Precision: Readability in 5 kg or 10 kg increments

The ALW-1 is a compact, one-piece unit that comes fully pre-assembled and ready for operation. The protective enclosure also serves as a pit frame, making installation much easier.

Application areas of the ALW-1 axle load scale

• Agriculture: Ideal for precise weighing of tractors, trailers and combine harvesters, during harvesting or to avoid overloading and ensure safety on the road.
• Industry: Perfect solution for weight control of trucks, transport vehicles and special machinery in demanding operating environments.
• Truck inspections: Check axle loads and total weight of trucks and trailers quickly and efficiently to comply with legal requirements.

How the ALW-1 axle load scale works

1. Dynamic weighing: Drive slowly over the weighing platform of the drive-over scale. The scale automatically records the individual axle loads and calculates the total weight as soon as no other axles are detected.

2. Static weighing: Pause briefly on the scale with each axle. Each axle will be precisely weighed one after the other, and the total weight will be displayed upon completion.

The reliable axis detection ensures precise recording of the measured values ​​in both methods.

Optional accessories for the ALW-1

• Printer : For immediate printing of weighing results.
• Remote display with traffic light function: Shows weight values ​​and signals overloads or excessively fast overruns.
• Data logger: Saves weighing data on a USB stick in CSV format.
• WWS-F software: For managing and analyzing weighing data on a PC.
• Network camera: Visually documents the weighing process.
• Remote control: For vehicle assignment or for selecting articles, floors and vehicles (only with WWS-F software).

Frequently asked questions about the ALW-1 axle load scale

1. Can the ALW-1 axle load scale also weigh wide vehicles such as combine harvesters?
Yes, thanks to the generous weighing surface of 3.5 meters wide, the ALW-1 is also suitable for particularly wide vehicles such as combine harvesters, harvesting machines or special vehicles.

2. What does dynamic weighing mean?
With dynamic weighing, you drive slowly over the axle scale without stopping. The scale automatically detects each axle and calculates the total weight once no further axles are detected.

3. What are the advantages of static weighing?
Static weighing allows for particularly precise weight measurements on each axle by briefly stopping the vehicle at each axle. This is ideal for workshops and businesses that require exact weight data.

4. Is the ALW-1 suitable for statutory axle load control?
No, but it helps to avoid overloads and comply with legal requirements.

The ALW-1 axle load scale offers a versatile and reliable solution for precise weight measurements. Whether in agriculture or industry, this drive-over scale combines robust technology with modern functionality to weigh your vehicles safely and efficiently.
