LTR788™ Dual Wheel Load Scales for Commercial Fleets Description
Commercial fleets use Intercomp’s LTR788™ Dual Wheel Load Scale to directly measure tire weights in a dual tire configuration.* The fully-electronic, self-contained, low profile dual platform scale can be used alone, or alongside single-platform wheel load scales for commercial vehicle inspection operations. A machined aluminum frame maximizes the tire rating scale's life and reduces the overall weight to just 39 lb, making these scales ultra-portable for rapid roadside setup to acquire tire weights. Tire loading and tire conditions impact braking distance, and tire failure can lead to accidents and debris on roads. *Patent Pending.
Despite the fact that tire failures within dual-tire setups have historically occurred more frequently on inner tires than outer tires, individual tires in a dual-wheel configuration were assumed to carry near equivalent loads because there was no scale which could directly measure individual tire weights. Overrated tires are not only a major safety concern, but they can also cause a cascade of costly equipment failures. When an overloaded tire blows, the weight it was carrying is transferred to the remaining tires, causing these tires to carry more load than their ratings allow and leading to further damage down the line. In addition, tire loading and tire conditions affect fuel and braking efficiency, making individual tire weights a critical piece of information is useful for commercial trucking.
