Truck Scales for Aftermarket Vehicle Outfitters

Portable Truck Scales for Aftermarket Vehicle Fitters

The portable truck scales offered by the Intercomp family of companies provide an ideal solution for aftermarket vehicle fitting businesses that require precise, reliable, and flexible weighing capabilities. These systems are perfectly suited for measuring vehicle axle and wheel loads, whether for checking custom modifications, validating load capacities, or optimizing weight distribution.

The combination of portability and high precision makes these scales indispensable for the construction and maintenance of specialty vehicles.

Main Application Areas for Aftermarket Fitters

These weighing systems are specifically tailored for needs where fixed weighing stations are inaccessible, or where measurements need to be taken at the vehicle's site, workshop, or even in the field.

• Custom Vehicle Building and Modifications: Acquisition of precise weight data after installing built-in accessories (e.g., extra fuel tanks, armor plating, special superstructures), ensuring compliance with permissible axle load limits.
• Load Optimization: Fine-tuning weight distribution to improve vehicle dynamic characteristics, especially for high-performance or special-purpose vehicles.
• Quality Assurance: Authentic documentation of every completed modification by recording the weight data.
• Service and Maintenance: Providing the precise weight data required for running gear adjustments.

Product Family and Technology Overview

Intercomp's broad portfolio includes the most diverse portable weighing solutions, ranging from wheel scales to full axle load measurement.

Portable Truck Scales

These systems are easily transportable and quick to set up, making them ideal for measurements at temporary or changing locations.

Low Profile Truck Scales

The low-profile design facilitates vehicle roll-on, minimizing the need for ramps, which is particularly advantageous in tight spaces or for low-ground-clearance vehicles.

Weighing Instruments, Software, and Accessories

The accuracy and usability of the measurements are ensured by the associated displays and software.

• Indicators, Displays, Software, and Applications: They are used for real-time display and recording of measurement results. Wireless technology (e.g., RFX®) increases flexibility around the measurement point.
• Force Measuring Test Benches: For calibration and verification purposes, ensuring the long-term accuracy of the scales.

Technical Specifications and Advantages

Durability, accuracy, and user-friendly handling were the main considerations in the design of Intercomp scales.

Accuracy and Reliability

The systems ensure excellent repeatability and accuracy, which is critical for adhering to vehicle specifications. The load cells are of quality meeting industrial standards.

Portability and Setup

• Quick Deployment: Portable systems can be operational in minutes, requiring minimal preparation.
• Robust Design: The weighing pads and sensors withstand workshop and field conditions.

Integration Capability

Modern displays and software enable easy export and integration of measurement data into existing enterprise systems (e.g., ERP or quality assurance databases).

Special Considerations for Aftermarket Outfitters

Aftermarket modifications often result in significant weight changes or weight shifts. Precise axle and wheel weighing is essential to guarantee vehicle stability, handling, and legal compliance. Intercomp's portable solutions allow the outfitter to:

1. Weigh each axle individually: This is critical when the weight distribution is asymmetric (e.g., in the case of unilateral tool carriers or special superstructures).
2. Perform dynamic measurements (Weigh-In-Motion options): Although static weighing is most common, WIM (Weigh-In-Motion) capability (e.g., LS630-WIM™) can help monitor continuous loading if vehicles are moving within the facility.

Accessory Systems and Calibration

The completeness of the measuring infrastructure is ensured by the accessory devices:

Accessories for Wheel/Axle Weighers

• Indicators and Software: They improve measurement accuracy and user experience. The wireless (RFX®) technology increases operator freedom.
• Calibration Devices: Regular calibration maintains accuracy. Force Measuring Test Benches ensure that the weighing platforms always operate according to specifications.

Application Notes

Intercomp guides and documentation help select the most suitable measurement method for electric vehicles, commercial vehicles, or special utility vehicles.

In summary: Intercomp portable truck scales offer the highest level of accuracy and flexibility for professionals dealing with aftermarket vehicle fitting, ensuring quality work and compliance with legal requirements.
