Why a trailer scale matters
Most overload problems live on the trailer. Freight shifts rearward, bulk loads mound unevenly, and a trailer group can slip over its legal limit while the gross weight still looks fine. A trailer scale that reports each trailer axle group separately is the only way to catch that before a weigh station does. That is exactly what AirRide Scale delivers on air bag suspension trailers.
How the AirRide trailer scale works
Wireless RF sensors mount at each air bag position on the trailer groups. They transmit to the AirRide Air Link hub, which also collects the truck sensors, and the Loadsense app shows the whole combination live: steer, drive and every trailer group, plus total gross and a clear legal limit status. One Air Link manages the entire rig, and with support for up to 16 sensors and around 50 metres of RF range, multi axle trailers, B doubles and long combinations are covered.
- Per group trailer weights so you can see exactly where the load sits.
- Truck and trailer together in one app view, no separate displays.
- RF, not Bluetooth, for reliable signal along the full length of a trailer. See our RF vs Bluetooth sensor comparison.
- Drop and hook friendly. Sensors stay with the trailer; calibrations are stored so swapped trailers keep weighing accurately.
Ideal for bulk, freight and agriculture
Tippers, curtainsiders, grain trailers, flat decks and refrigerated trailers all benefit from live trailer weights while loading. Watching the trailer group climb in real time means you stop at the legal limit, not past it, maximising payload without risking fines.
