The 6-pin Massload Ultraslim Wheel Load Scale connect to an Western Scale M2000 indicator featuring truck-in/truck-out weighing, capturing inbound and outbound totals for static single- or multi-axle check weighing up to three axles.
The M2000 supplies power to the pads, offers up to five-point calibration, and drives an optional thermal serial printer for on-the-spot weigh tickets or a remote display.
Ramps are included with the scale and levelling tracks are available as optional accessories.
The Massload Ultraslim Portable Vehicle Weight Scale is an ultra-low-profile wheel load scale designed for fast, accurate vehicle check weighing wherever it’s needed. Measuring just 0.8 inches (20 mm) high, each weigh pad easily slides beneath a wheel, allowing operators to verify wheel, axle, and gross vehicle weights without the need for permanent installations.
Designed for portability, durability and versatily the Ultraslim can be used with a variety of read-out options on concrete, asphalt, or properly compacted gravel, making it ideal for roadside inspections, fleet maintenance yards, farms, construction sites, terminals, and remote job locations.
By weighing each wheel position individually, user can calculate accurate axle loads and gross vehicle weight while identifying uneven load distribution. Operators can correct overloaded axles before vehicles enter public roads, helping reduce the risk of overweight fines, equipment damage, excessive tire wear, and safety hazards.
Unlike traditional portable wheel scales, the Ultraslim’s exceptionally low profile minimizes the height difference between weighed and unweighed wheels, reducing measurement errors and improving accuracy – even when leveling tracks are not available.
The Ultraslim combines the accuracy of a permanent weighing system with the flexibility of a truly portable solution.
Each weigh pad is lightweight enough to be carried by hand or transported in a service vehicle while remaining rugged enough for everyday industrial use. Every system is calibrated to NIST-traceable standards and can be supplied in either pounds or kilograms.
Available configurations include:
Capacities are available up to 20,000 lb or 40,000 lb per wheel, making the Ultraslim suitable for everything from light commercial vehicles to heavy-duty trucks.
The Ultraslim Portable Vehicle Weight Scale is commonly used for:
Each weigh pad includes two removable ramps for static vehicle weighing.
For multi-axle vehicles, Massload recommends using optional levelling tracks to improve measurement accuracy by maintaining the same elevation across all wheel positions.
For portable weigh-in-motion (dynamic weighing) applications, longer 1-metre Ultraslim weigh pads combined with levelling tracks are recommended. Contact Massload for guidance on selecting the appropriate portable weigh-in-motion configuration.
The Ultraslim Portable Vehicle Weight Scale allows operators to verify vehicle weights quickly without relying on fixed weighbridges or permanent installations.
Whether used by transportation companies, municipalities, farms, enforcement agencies, or industrial operations, the system helps:
Most Common Applications: Truck and axle check weighing, roadside traffic weight enforcement, load distribution monitoring, terminal load and unload verification.
