Wheel scales are designed to be as lightweight as possible while providing a slim, low-profile design that is easy to transport and use. Our wheel weigher scales will give you precise, accurate results in seconds, so you can get the reliability you need to ensure your wheels and axles meet standards and regulations.
We have industrial size and strength options that can handle just about any vehicle, from 10,000 to 50,000 pounds per unit. Link together multiple scales to handle the biggest jobs. Up to six units can be connected, providing you the ability to weigh multiple wheels or axles at once.
Wireless
Wires can get in the way when you need a portable solution. Connect all your scales and devices through popular wireless protocols.
Weigh-In-Motion
Many times your application requires that vehicles don't fully stop. There are several available solutions to this. Let one of our experts help.
Software Systems
Our Systems & Solutions group is experienced at helping you design a more complex solution to a wheel weighing/axle application.
Wheel weigher calibration and service
Brechbuhler Scales calibrates and services wheel weighers, including wireless and weigh-in-motion systems, so every axle and gross weight reading you rely on for compliance or load planning stays accurate.
What we check on a wheel weigher
A wheel weigher calibration compares each pad's reading against known test weights, confirms the pads return to zero between vehicles, and checks that wireless units communicate consistent readings to the display or software. For weigh-in-motion systems we also verify accuracy at typical roll-through speeds, not just static loads.
Wireless vs. weigh-in-motion wheel weighers
Wireless wheel weighers get moved between sites, so our technicians confirm the pads sit level and the wireless link holds a stable connection in addition to calibrating the load cells. Weigh-in-motion systems are typically installed in a fixed lane, so service also covers the sensor alignment and approach surface that keep in-motion readings consistent.
Legal-for-trade wheel weighing
Depending on how your wheel weigher is used, it may need to meet NIST Handbook 44 requirements the same as a full truck scale. We can tell you what your setup requires and calibrate it accordingly.
Wheel weigher calibration FAQs
How often should a wheel weigher be calibrated?
Most wheel weighers should be calibrated at least once a year, though units used daily for compliance or high-volume weighing often benefit from more frequent checks.
Can a wheel weigher replace a full truck scale?
For many fleet and compliance applications, yes. Summing individual wheel or axle readings gives a total gross weight. We can help you decide whether a wheel weigher or a full truck scale better fits your operation.
Do wireless wheel weighers need special calibration?
The load cells are calibrated the same way as any wheel weigher. We also confirm the wireless connection is transmitting accurate, consistent readings during the visit.
Do you service wheel weighers outside of Ohio?
We calibrate and service scales throughout our full territory. Contact us to confirm coverage in your area.
