This week at the Fujian KEDA Weighing Apparatus facility, our engineering team conducted comprehensive live load testing on our newest portable axle scales.
Where a permanent weighbridge is impractical, portable axle pads may be useful for temporary checks or axle-load work. Suitability depends on the model, the operating surface, the weighing method and local regulations. They should not automatically be treated as a legal-for-trade substitute for a full-vehicle weighbridge.
In the recent field test, loaded commercial trucks drove over the pads while our team checked structural condition, sensor response and weight readings. Buyers should request the test method, calibration records and the specified accuracy for the intended operating conditions before selecting a system.
Drawing on 23 years of manufacturing experience in the industrial weighing sector, we understand that equipment durability is non-negotiable. We engineer these portable axle scales to withstand the harshest working environments. They are built tough, easy to transport, and deliver reliable weight data exactly where you need it.
Portable pads can provide a flexible weighing option when the application allows it. For a commercial gross vehicle weight or enforcement use, confirm the permitted weighing method and approval with the relevant local authority.

Portable pads or a full-size weighbridge?
Compare the intended use, vehicle type and local approval requirements before choosing. Our truck scale site-planning checklist covers full-size deck layouts and approach space; the product catalog includes portable and fixed options. For a U.S.-specific example of why weighing method matters, see NIST Handbook 44 (2026), Section 2.20, UR.3.3–UR.3.5. Other jurisdictions may apply different rules.
