Vehicle-mounted scales enable real-time weighing directly at the vehicle. This eliminates the need for detours to stationary weighbridges, saving both time and fuel and thereby increasing efficiency. In addition, delivery notes and invoices can be generated directly at the customer’s location, which simplifies and speeds up the process.

• Static scales weigh in a fixed position and require manual operation. The container is positioned for weighing; the gross weight and, after emptying, the tare weight are recorded manually, resulting in the net weight (net = gross - tare). Advantage: low purchase cost and minimal calibration effort. Disadvantage: time-consuming and prone to operational errors. • Dynamic scales weigh automatically during movement. The gross and tare weights are recorded in defined weighing windows as the container is lifted and lowered. Advantage: time-saving and error-free operation. Disadvantage: higher purchase costs and greater calibration effort.

Static scales are available in accuracy classes III and IIII, while dynamic scales are classified as class Y(b). These classes define the accuracy required for different applications.

• Accuracy Class III (commercial scales): For weighing high-value goods and goods used for billing purposes, such as grain, pellets, or animal feed. • Accuracy Class IIII (rough-duty scales): For weighing low-value goods such as gravel, sand, or waste.

Depending on the model and application, KWS scales achieve an accuracy of 0.1 to 1% of the weighing range. Dynamic scales offer particularly high reliability thanks to automatic measurements.

Yes, our systems and components have EU type approval and are eligible for calibration, provided that the mechanical requirements for weighing frames and platforms are properly met.

Yes, our scales are eligible for calibration and have the necessary EU type approval, provided they are used for billing purposes and meet the mechanical requirements.

Depending on the accuracy class, tipper and roll-off tipper scales achieve a minimum resolution of 10 kg (Class IIII with tilt sensor) or 20 kg (Class III with tilt sensor). Dump, platform, and crane scales typically offer a minimum resolution of 2 kg.

An inclination sensor measures the vehicle's tilt and is mounted on the weighing frame. The measured inclination data is transmitted to the weighing terminal, where the tilt is factored into the displayed weight to compensate for it. In Austria, the inclination sensor is mandatory for accuracy class III.

The installation is simple and modular, allowing for quick retrofitting without major modifications to the vehicle. Our scales are mounted directly onto existing vehicle components such as weighing frames or crane booms.

KWS scales are suitable for a wide range of vehicles, from small vans to specialized silo and waste collection trucks. Vehicles with multiple axles or dual tires can also be weighed.

Our systems can be equipped with remote controls, USB storage devices, telematics and GPS connectivity, printing modules for delivery notes and invoices, as well as wireless data transmission and interfaces for ERP and fleet management solutions.

KWS systems offer interfaces for USB, serial communication, CAN bus, and wireless transmission. This allows weight data to be easily integrated into telematics or ERP systems and utilized in fleet management solutions.

Our scales are shock- and vibration-resistant, feature protection ratings up to IP68, and offer functions such as tare lock, error diagnosis on the weighing terminal, and automatic data validation to ensure maximum operational reliability.

Yes, KWS scales are designed to be modular and flexible. They can be easily integrated into existing vehicle fleets and IT infrastructures, including connections to common ERP and telematics systems.

With real-time data, automated weighing processes, and on-site invoicing, KWS reduces administrative overhead, minimizes errors, and maximizes vehicle utilization.

Our products are designed for durability and rugged industrial use. When operated properly and maintained regularly, KWS scales typically have a service life of over 10 years.
