Weigh-In-Motion Strip Sensors Description
Intercomp’s strain gauge-based Strip Sensors are a unique alternative to traditional static truck scales, or low-speed axle scales where vehicle speeds and sites do not allow large civil works. Strip Sensors allow for higher throughput for high-traffic applications, including Freight Terminals, Commercial Fleet facilities, distribution hubs, and other facilities with space limitations. Installed within channels less than 3" (75 mm) in the pavement, Strip Sensors provide lower cost when compared to alternative scale systems due to minimal installation and maintenance requirements.
At Intercomp, we manufacture Weigh-In-Motion (WIM) Strip Sensors that utilize strain gauge technology which is widely accepted as the most accurate and reliable means to weigh a vehicle. If you have specific questions regarding our Weigh-In-Motion Sensor options,
get in touch with our sales team and we will gladly answer any questions you have regarding your specific requirements.
Weigh-In-Motion Sensor Advantages
Weigh-In-Motion Strip Sensors offer a unique alternative to traditional weighing practices. By capturing weights for each wheel independently, WIM Strip Sensor systems provide fully-automated collection of individual-axle, axle group, and gross vehicle weights. Whether tracking inventories based on vehicle load weights, or preventing overweight citations, Strip Sensor systems offer the flexibility to exceed a wide range of application-specific needs. Weigh-In-Motion (WIM) Strip Sensors provide a lower cost of acquisition and ownership over traditional in-ground truck scales. The minimally-invasive installation of Intercomp Strip Sensors, which do not require built-in drainage, allows the system to be fully operational in the same day– significantly reducing both site downtime and construction costs. Additional Weigh-In-Motion Vehicle Sensor benefits include:
- Strain Gauge Load Cell Sensors in a Minimally Invasive Enclosure for Quick Installation
- Weigh Vehicles at Low and High Speeds
- Used in Screening, Enforcement, Data Collection, Tolling & Ports WIM Applications
- Used to Address SOLAS Verified Gross Mass Container Requirements

Applications of WIM Strip Sensors
Strip Sensors for Commercial Fleets
Commercial fleets use strip sensors to provide a convenient and reliable way to record weight data without having to stop. This allows more commercial trucks to be processed through a facility each day. Whether it’s bulk, container, or oversized loads, strip sensors provide significant efficiency and cost savings over standard in-ground truck scales.
Strip Sensors for Freight Terminals
Strip Sensors provide increased loading and offloading efficiency for freight terminals, eliminating entry point and exit point bottlenecks by replacing large, in-ground, stationary static scales and integrating weight information into existing vehicle transactions.
Strip Sensors for Ports, Border Crossings, & Weight Compliance
Sea ports and intermodal terminals around the world have chosen to utilize Strain Gauge Strip Sensors in low-speed applications to process vehicle and cargo weights for gate in/gate out transactions. Intercomp Strip Sensors are often the technology of choice in applications that require faster installation and easier maintenance when compared to traditional low-speed WIM (LS-WIM) scales. Strip Sensors can be integrated with a variety of electronics platforms and gate or TOS software.
Strip Sensors for Weighing Operations with Limited Space
Strip Sensors can be installed in locations where there is not enough room for a traditional static truck scale as they typically require one-third the space taken up by a traditional scale installation.
