Portable axle scale - a station you can move.
Not every weighing point deserves a concrete pit. This shelf is for buyers who need a station on site quickly, for a season, or at a location that changes. Set it down, weigh axles and gross, and pack it up when the job ends.
- Portable / relocatable
- Axle and gross
- Temporary checkpoints
- WIM-ready
Relocatable / no pit requiredWeigh where the trucks are, not where the concrete is
A fixed weighbridge is the right answer for a gate that runs for years. But a harvest intake that lasts six weeks, a quarry that shifts face, or an enforcement checkpoint that rotates between roads all have the same problem: the cost of a foundation is not worth it. A portable station removes that decision.
Use it for axle and gross checks, overload screening and temporary control points. When the job needs records - not just a reading - the same station can be paired with the depot WIM subsystem: license plate recognition, an LED information board for overspeed and overload prompts, and a data acquisition subsystem. That layer also brings image capture and video linkage, S-shape detour, rush-scale and drag-scale anti-cheating, 7x24 unattended running, offline local cache and multi-site centralized management.
We do not publish capacity or accuracy figures for portable configurations that are not in our product manual. Send the vehicle types and the site conditions and we confirm the exact build and a price on inquiry.

| Consideration | Portable axle station | Fixed weighbridge |
|---|---|---|
| Site work | Minimal | Pit or surface foundation |
| Move it later | Yes | No |
| Traffic | Temporary or low-speed | Daily steady gate traffic |
| Capacity class | Configured to order | 20 / 50 / 100 t |
| System add-ons | WIM subsystem, LED board, LPR | Indicator, printing, data link |
Portable axle FAQ
What is a portable axle scale for?
Temporary or relocatable weighing: seasonal intake, construction-site checks, event-based enforcement and rental fleets where a permanent foundation is not justified.
Can it feed an enforcement system?
Yes. Portable stations can be paired with the WIM subsystem - license plate recognition, an LED information board and the data acquisition subsystem - when you need records rather than a one-off reading.
Portable or fixed - which do I pick?
Fixed for a permanent gate with steady daily traffic; portable when the point moves or the job is short. The catalog comparison table sets out the trade-off.
Are capacity and accuracy published?
We do not print figures that are not in our product manual. Portable configurations are quoted to order - tell us the vehicles and the site and we will confirm the build.
What about unattended operation?
The WIM system layer supports 7x24 unattended running, offline local cache and multi-site centralized management, with image capture and video linkage.
