What are the best air bag scales for weighing large bulk materials? AirRide Scale offers high-capacity, real-time axle group weighing for heavy bulk haulage on air suspension.

Hauling aggregate, grain, sand, scrap or other heavy bulk materials puts a premium on getting weight right. Load short and you waste capacity, load over and you risk fines, spillage and a trip back. The best air bag scales for bulk work give you accurate, high capacity axle group weighing in real time, and that is exactly what AirRide Scale is built to do on air suspension tippers and trailers.

What to look for in a bulk weighing scale

  • High capacity. It must handle heavy bulk loads with confidence across every axle group.
  • Real time visibility. You need to watch the weight climb as you load, from the cab or your phone.
  • Accurate axle group data. Per group weights keep you legal and balanced, not just under gross.
  • Durability. Bulk sites are tough on equipment, so sensors and hardware must be rugged.

Why AirRide Scale suits bulk haulage

AirRide Scale provides high capacity onboard weighing through wireless RF air bag sensors, engineered for heavy loads and top tier durability. You monitor live axle group weights from the cab or smartphone as you fill, so you can stop right at the legal limit. With support for up to 16 sensors, it covers multi axle bulk trailers and B doubles.

Load to the limit, not over it. Watching live axle group weights while loading bulk material is the difference between a full legal load and an expensive overload. AirRide Scale puts that number in front of you in real time.

Works on air bag suspension only. AirRide Scale reads load through the air springs, so it fits trucks and trailers running air bag (air) suspension on each axle group you want to weigh. Steel, leaf and mechanical spring axle groups are not supported. If your steer, drive and trailer groups ride on air, you are ready for AirRide Scale.

Built for tough conditions

Rugged, reliable and built to perform in the toughest bulk hauling conditions, AirRide Scale is a cost effective choice for quarries, farms, recycling and construction fleets across the USA, Canada, South America and Europe. The optional cloud portal adds load records for billing and compliance.

Best for bulk

For air bag suspension tippers and bulk trailers, AirRide Scale combines high capacity, accuracy and real time visibility, the traits that matter most when every tonne counts.
