AxleLoad - determination of truck axle loads
- avoid penalties for overloading axles by calculating the load on the axles. Do not lose the client, do not give a lot of money;
- help the consignor to immediately arrange the cargo correctly before loading - no need to move the cargo after loading, this will irritate the consignor;
- load more without fear of overload - you can earn more;
- assess what the loads will be on the axles if you raise the sloth or the axle on the semi-trailer. Save on rubber or on fines.
Recommendations for working with the application:
- more accurately measure the car (dimensions and weight along the axes of an empty truck) - more precisely it will coincide with real life;
- check the serviceability of the suspension and check the tire pressure;
- if you think that there is excess weight (wheels, fuel, pallets, tools, snow), add weight to the characteristics of the truck.
Enlarge the load:
- if the goods are more than 50, then the program will slow down or even fly out. This is not correct, nothing can be done
- it will be more convenient to move the load in the truck.
Any cargo can be represented in the form of four types of geometric shapes:
- pallets of standard sizes without hanging cargo - standard parallelepipeds;
- pipes, rolls of paper or metal, cable reels ... - horizontal cylinders;
- barrels, concrete rings ... - vertical cylinders;
- non-standard pallets, equipment in boxes, etc. - parallelepipeds of any size.
What kind of cars do not have:
- container ships - will be.
- bonnet singles - will be.
- four-axle singles and four-axle semi-trailers - we can not make a calculation formula. If you know how to count and want such machines to appear in the application - write in the feedback form.
- dump trucks - there are wonderful calculations for them (link). Dump trucks - a wonderful free calculator already exists https://samosval.info/katalog-transporta/peregruz.php#KALKUL
Why the calculation in the application may not coincide with the load on the scales (text + illustration):
- inaccurate measurements of the size of the truck. All in your hands. Check the data on the Internet, or immediately take from there.
- inaccurate data on the weight of the cargo (the weight in the documents does not coincide with the real weight). Consider the weight of the package.
- inaccurate data on the weight of the truck: more / less fuel (+/- 500 kg), excess spare wheel (up to 150 kg), tools (up to 50 kg), pallets (14 kg per pallet), sticking snow (up to 2000 kg) .
- failure of the suspension (lowers the cushion, spring broke) leads to the transfer of the weight of the load from the faulty axis to the rest.
- unequal tire pressure. On the trailer axle with more pressure in the tires, the load will be greater than on the neighboring ones.
- scales are guilty: uneven ground or malicious intent, alas.

Not at all easy to understand or figure out. Downloaded it twice and still don't get it. While filling the required fields every box is filled with the info yet the program tells me its missing data but won't say or show where
Only allows payload up to 66000 lbs. Working for a truck company most trucks are around 80,000 lbs but it is not uncommon for trucks to weigh more. Also axles can support more than the max weight, the drive and trailer axles are normally 25000.
Can't do b doubles or road trains so didn't try it. Spent 15mins putting in measurements to find it only allows for 1 trailer.
Need to be able to slide axles out to 45 ft..still learning the app
App doesn't go down to a light enough truck such as an under cdl 26,000 box truck. Payloads start at 17,000+. They need to go down as low as 10,000
I thought this app would have a setting for kilograms (kg) and pounds (lb).
App stop can't change it from kilograms to pounds Etc
The app is robust and user-friendly. The free version gives a good picture of the situation, but for a small contribution this becomes even more interesting. The multiple packages that you create in terms of center of gravity give a more accurate picture of your weight on the axes. Are the results correct? After having had a roadside check there is data for comparison and more accurate input of data regarding loading weights. This app is fairly correct in its end results. I have doubts about the 3rd axle accuracy, but is acceptable due the fact that my truck anticipate weight pressure on his wheels Four stars as it give me more insight into the real live situation
