    I'm wondering if they make axle weight scales for rubber block suspension and who makes it. I also am thinking about weight scale for pup trailer that is air ride with level valve on each axle. Also have a lift axle that is air and truck has springs on steer axle with air bag shocks. Its a log truck 4 axles on truck with 2 axles on the pup trailer. I could set up the pup trailer which would give me an idea of what's on the truck?? There has to be others out there who have set up something similar. So let's hear it. Thanks in advance.

    They put load cells under the fifth wheel and sensors on the air bags. Vulcan is good I have SI on mine, most of the time there between 200 to 500 lbs

    What suspension? I had them on one I have mixed thoughts they worked awesome on old style Hendrickson beams not fabricated ones ! I had the, on chalmers they were ok at best knew of a couple that was on air ride but could get it closer with regular air gauge than the on board system .

    I have pressure gauge on truck and trailer and I have a small chart kpa-to-kg

    so U can install air pressure gauges and "calibrate" on scales with small PSI to LBS chart
