Air-Weigh has introduced the newest generation of its LoadMaxx Trailer Scale. According to the company, the new scale combines the best of previous LoadMaxx and Quickload trailer scales into one trailer scale with two options: LoadMaxx base model, and LoadMaxx with ComLink.
Features of the updated LoadMaxx scale include: an icon-based touch screen display; built-in LED alarm lights; dual-point calibration and high precision pressure sensor for weight accuracy; compensation for temperature and altitude change; PIN protected calibration; and English, Spanish and French language options.
The ComLink option now available for the LoadMaxx trailer scale enables drivers to view steer, drive, trailer, GVW, and net payload on an in-cab LoadMaxx tractor display. Tractor/trailer weight information can also be sent to the fleet’s management software via the built-in data communication interface. When used with the Bluetooth-compatible LoadMaxx Tractor Scale, weight data is also available on any smartphone or tablet through Air-Weigh’s LoadMaxx App.
ComLink is also available as a plug-and-play upgrade even after installation of the LoadMaxx base model. Among the other new features, the LoadMaxx trailer scale now provides the option to store up to four manual calibrations for multiple axle configurations. For example, a tandem trailer with a liftable axle can now have two calibrations: one with all axles down, and one with the liftable axle up.
“In our ongoing effort to optimize fleet efficiency, the new LoadMaxx trailer scale has evolved to offer the best of our previous trailer scales, as well as important new features,” said Martin Ambros, chief executive officer of Air-Weigh. “Our goal for fleets is to maximize the payload they haul, and minimize the complexity and effort in their operations.”
