The TruckScience Axle Weight Calculator automatically calculates axle weights, dimensions, centre of gravity and maximum payload to ensure safe, legal and efficient trucks.

Accurate truck weight analysis

It’s difficult to find accurate information to calculate axle weights, overall dimensions, payload limits and overall centre of gravity.

Our Axle Weight Calculator brings all the truck and equipment specs together with truck size and weight regulations, to quickly determine your vehicle limits. This ensures strict compliance with safety rules by keeping axle weights and dimensions within limits set by chassis OEMs and local regulations. For example, it automatically applies the limit of 40 tonnes Gross Combination Mass stipulated by the EU Directive 96/53/EC.

Whether you’re buying, selling or using trucks, speccing safe, legal and efficient trucks means more for your bottom line.
