- Optimize load distribution 
- Quick & efficient installation 
- Air-Weigh loadsmart technology 

An Air-Weigh scale installed in your fleet will give your driver the tool to help avoid vehicle overload situations which can also make your vehicle unstable, difficult to steer and have an effect on braking distances.

Are all your vehicles safe and legal?

Providing a variety of vehicle load monitoring solutions, Hawkley International is involved in the design and development of products that are used to prevent and detect the overloading of vehicles to ensure important safety and legal criteria are complied with.

Portable Wheel and Axle Load Monitoring Systems offer flexible weighing, for heavy and light vehicles, wherever required, even on the roadside. They are widely used by Law Enforcement, Fleet Operators, Vehicle Manufacturers and OEM Vehicle Fitting Aftermarket.

The Single Axle Weighbridge is ideal for weighing large vehicles, up to 40 tonnes per axle, quickly and easily. The vehicle is weighed as it rolls across the weighplate, eliminating the need to stop and position each axle. Axle weights are shown on easy-to-read display, electronically totalled and printed. 

Sales, service and hire available for all equipment.

See net weight, gross weight, individual axle loads, combination weights, partial loading and unloading weights.
Print weights on site.
Have the vehicle's weight sent back to the office through satellite.
Outset also provides an audible warning for weight limitations or for safety; a remote pocket size unit is available. 

Outset dynamic on-board weighing system gives the operator a real on-board scale, avoiding wasted time during the weighbridge process or providing security in the knowledge that your load is correct when a weighbridge is not available - exactly like having your own set of weighing scales.

Red Forge Omniweigh System

The Red Forge Omniweigh system has been upgraded to suit any vehicle application with axle load prediction as a new feature. The system uses the latest technology to give remote data capture and diagnostics through the link with vehicle telemetry systems (VTS).

The Omniweigh display has been designed for simplicity and robustness, requiring little in the way of driver input, and is capable of storing up to 250 separate weight readings. Available as options are a Thermal Printer or a USB data port for collection of data directly from the display. 

Using rugged loadcell design, the Omniweigh system has been designed for simple installation by your chosen bodyshop, which leads to little in the way of increased lead times. Red Forge have many years of experience in this process and are able to provide advice during the build.

VWS weighing loadcells and electronics are designed and manufactured in the UK to BS ISO9001 and are highly regarded internationally for accuracy and reliability. We recently launched our versatile M350S weigher; a very capable, compact onboard weigher and axle overload indicator, fitting neatly into the spare radio slot in truck cabs, it looks equally as good as a dash mount. It’s packed with standard features and clever ones like audio visual connectivity to display weighing data onto rear view monitors. We like it, we’re sure you will too.
