New LTR788™ Weighs Dual Tires Individually on a Single Portable Scale
Category: ITS/Enforcement
March 1, 2022
Bringing new capabilities to wheel load scales, the LTR788™ Dual Wheel Load Scale was created for direct measurement of individual tire loading in a dual-tire configuration. Until now, there was no method to weigh the tires individually, with the existing procedure being to weigh both tires and divide by two. It is now possible for vehicle inspectors to identify tire anomalies, such as unequal weight distribution within a dual wheel, with a portable digital scale. Exceeding the weight capacity of an individual tire is an out-of-service violation and a safety concern, as tire loading and tire conditions impact braking distance, and tire failure can lead to accidents and debris on roads.
With a platform height of just 0.86" (22 mm), the lightweight and low profile design makes the LTR788™ easy to move and simple for drivers to position the vehicle. The scale is battery operated and features a solar panel that minimizes the need to manually charge the batteries. These fully electronic, self-contained, low profile wheel load scales can be used in sets of two-to-six scales, or alongside single-platform wheel load scales for commercial vehicle enforcement or inspection operations.
We are proud to announce the LTR788™ Dual Wheel Load Scale has been nominated for the Intertraffic Inspiration Award 2022. See this scale on display at Intertraffic Amsterdam in Intercomp's booth 01.211 and the Intertraffic Award area onsite.
