Software for speccing
the best truck for the job
The TruckScience Axle Weight Calculator automatically calculates axle weights, dimensions, center 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 center 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 62,500 kg Gross Combination Mass for 8-axle B-train doubles stipulated by Federal-Provincial-Territorial MOU on Interprovincial Weights and Dimensions.
Whether you’re buying, selling or using trucks, speccing safe, legal and efficient trucks means more for your bottom line.
