Different Types of Truck Scales
For industries such as transportation, agriculture, and logistics, accurate truck weighing is essential. Reliable weight measurement ensures safety, compliance with regulations, and offers cost-efficient solutions to improve operations by preventing overloading, maintaining fair trade in goods sold, and helping companies avoid fines for non-compliance. With a variety of truck scales available from Intercomp Company, we provide a range of solutions to meet diverse operational needs, supporting inventory management and logistics planning across industries. Discover the capabilities of portable truck scales, weigh-in-motion scales, low-profile configurations, and strip sensor designs to meet your needs.
Designed for mobility and quick setup, portable truck scales provide the capability to accurately measure the weight of single- or multiple-axle trucks. These highly convenient truck scales offer accurate and reliable wireless weight measurement for a range of vehicles and applications, allowing for data to be saved for future analysis and storage. With features that provide a quick and effective way for various regulators to gather vehicle weight data, portable truck scales deliver the following benefits:
Weigh-in-motion truck scales, also known as WIM scales, allow vehicles to be weighed while in motion and eliminate the need for stopping. These types of truck scales are ideal for high-traffic areas where stopping vehicles is impractical, providing a solution for accurate, reliable, and efficient weight measurement that saves data in formats that can be exported for digital data storage. WIM scales offer features and benefits to support a range of weighing applications, such as:
For operations that require a lower overall height, low-profile truck scales make it easier for vehicles to drive onto the scale. With the same features as standard portable truck scales, this truck scale design combines innovative technology with a sleek, low-profile design for convenient vehicle approach and positioning to meet your operational requirements. These systems feature fully integrated RFX® wireless weighing technology, enabling scale data to be easily received, recorded, and observed on multiple indicators that can also remotely control axle scale functions. Key features and benefits of low-profile truck scales include:
Offering an alternative to traditional, static truck scales, weigh-in-motion strip sensors are permanent sensors that are installed in channels cut into the pavement. These truck scales capture weights for each wheel independently to provide a fully automated collection of individual axle, axle group, and gross vehicle weights, delivering capabilities for flexible weight measurement to meet a range of application-specific requirements. Their minimally invasive design does not require built-in drainage for a system that can be operational within a day, offering benefits such as:

Portable Truck Scales
Designed for mobility and quick setup, portable truck scales provide the capability to accurately measure the weight of single- or multiple-axle trucks. These highly convenient truck scales offer accurate and reliable wireless weight measurement for a range of vehicles and applications, allowing for data to be saved for future analysis and storage. With features that provide a quick and effective way for various regulators to gather vehicle weight data, portable truck scales deliver the following benefits:
- Lightweight construction for easy transport and flexibility
- Quick installation and set up without extensive site preparation
- Adapts to various terrains, including gravel and uneven surfaces
Weigh-in-Motion (WIM) Truck Scales
Weigh-in-motion truck scales, also known as WIM scales, allow vehicles to be weighed while in motion and eliminate the need for stopping. These types of truck scales are ideal for high-traffic areas where stopping vehicles is impractical, providing a solution for accurate, reliable, and efficient weight measurement that saves data in formats that can be exported for digital data storage. WIM scales offer features and benefits to support a range of weighing applications, such as:
- Provides real-time data collection without traffic disruption
- Can integrate with traffic management systems
- Portable and permanent configurations available
Low-Profile Truck Scales
For operations that require a lower overall height, low-profile truck scales make it easier for vehicles to drive onto the scale. With the same features as standard portable truck scales, this truck scale design combines innovative technology with a sleek, low-profile design for convenient vehicle approach and positioning to meet your operational requirements. These systems feature fully integrated RFX® wireless weighing technology, enabling scale data to be easily received, recorded, and observed on multiple indicators that can also remotely control axle scale functions. Key features and benefits of low-profile truck scales include:
- Reduced ramp requirements due to lower height
- Suitable for locations with limited space
- Portable designs for convenience and mobility
Weigh-in-Motion Strip Sensors
Offering an alternative to traditional, static truck scales, weigh-in-motion strip sensors are permanent sensors that are installed in channels cut into the pavement. These truck scales capture weights for each wheel independently to provide a fully automated collection of individual axle, axle group, and gross vehicle weights, delivering capabilities for flexible weight measurement to meet a range of application-specific requirements. Their minimally invasive design does not require built-in drainage for a system that can be operational within a day, offering benefits such as:
- Weighs vehicles at high and low speeds
- Minimal civil works required for installation
- Suitable for sites where vehicle speeds and space constraints may be limited
