PLAY VIDEOIt shouldn't be so hard
Many body manufacturers struggle to find the information they need to calculate axle weights, dimensions, payload capacity and center of gravity.
At TruckScience, we’ve created an Axle Weight Calculator that brings all the spec sheets and legislation together, so you can get on with the business of designing safe, legal, and efficient truck bodies.
Better bodies means more orders, and more customers coming back for more.
What do I get?
The optimal configuration
that achieves the maximum
payload for the chassis
Professional reports
with drawings, weights, dimensions
and center of gravity info
Answer to what-if questions
by testing axle layouts
and equipment positions
Signed-off designs
before you proceed
with the build
Time
saved
waiting for answers
from third parties
Peace of mind
from knowing you’re building safe
and legal trucks
How it works
Choose a Chassis
then add body and
equipment
Optimize your Design
to comply with OEM & legal limits
and increase payload capacity
Generate a Report
to share with sales staff
and customers, and get sign-off

We’ve been helping body manufacturers to build
great truck bodies for over 35 years

“Sharing our product specs with our distributors through the TruckScience program means they can do an accurate layout for every truck they sell. Customers know they are getting a product that will meet and exceed their needs with facts. This builds trust.”
Terry Shea

“Almost every truck that leaves our yard is customized. I have been building a database for our entire product line, evaluating which axle weight ratings give optimal bridge load and axle capacity loads. We wouldn’t have considered doing this before we adopted the TruckScience tool.”

“Any truck that is built has the potential to be overweight, depending on how the customer uses it. It is very important to us that we can educate our customers on the potential for being overweight, recommend an optimal configuration, and get sign-off on their chosen design.”
