The TruckScience Axle Weight Calculator automatically calculates axle weights, dimensions, estimated fuel consumption, and total cost of ownership.

Accurate truck weight analysis

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

Our Axle Weight Calculator and Sales Tool brings all your truck and equipment specs together with size and weight regulations to quickly determine vehicle limits, estimate fuel consumption, and calculate total cost of ownership. 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 56,000 kg Gross Combination Mass stipulated by the National Road Traffic Act.

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