Axle Weighing: Example Long Deck - Drive On



Example Long Deck - Drive On

This example will follow the steps to weigh a truck with (3) three axles. Each axle will be weighed as the truck drives on to the scale. Axle weights are subtracted from the total weight on the scale to calculate the weight of the current axle.

The truck places their first axle on the scale.

The operator clicks the  Store Axle button. The first axle weight is stored. The driver pulls the truck forward until the first and second axles are on the scale. 

The operator clicks the  Store Axle button. The weight of the second axle is calculated by subtracting the first axle weight from the total weight on the scale. The weight of the second axle in the above example is 18,000 pounds. The driver pull the truck forward until the first, second, and third axles are on the scale.

The operator clicks the  Store Axle button. The weight of the third axle is calculated by subtracting the first and second axle weights from the total weight on the scale. The weight of the third axle in the above example is 21,000 pounds. The operator clicks the Store Ticket button to complete the weigh in portion of the transaction. The same steps are followed when the truck returns to complete the ticket.

To remove an axle weighment click the  Remove Axle button. 

Tare Weight

Taring a truck when using multiple axle weighments will store the tare as the sum of all the axels.
