A Dynamic Axle Weighing System consists of an in-ground mounted weighing platform designed to measure vehicle weights that are travelling between 5-8km/h. MWS products can be interfaced with ANPR cameras and cloud-based data capture to record and monitor vehicles entering the public highway.
Are you moving Abnormal Loads that require movement orders? If so, we have the right weighing equipment to enable you to accurately report axle weights and total gross weights of your loads. One of the critical aspects addressed in a movement...

Plateforme renforcée permettant de calculer le poids d'un véhicule en transit, en additionnant les différents essieux, pesés de manière dynamique. Conçue pour une installation à fleur de sol.
A dynamic axle weighing system is a type of weighbridge that captures individual axle weights and gross vehicle weights as trucks, lorries, or other vehicles pass over an in-ground platform at low speed. As each axle crosses the platform, built-in load cells measure the applied weight and transmit precise readings to a digital display or connected software system. MWS systems are designed to operate accurately at speeds between 5 and 8 km/h, allowing for continuous traffic flow with minimal disruption.
Static weighing requires a vehicle to come to a complete stop on the platform before a reading is taken, which can slow down operations considerably. Dynamic axle weighing, on the other hand, captures axle and gross vehicle weights while the vehicle is moving at low speed. This means significantly reduced weighing time, better traffic flow efficiency, and a more streamlined process overall, making it particularly well suited to busy logistics, quarry, and waste management environments.
Dynamic axle weighing systems are widely used in logistics hubs, quarries, waste management sites, recycling facilities, transport depots, and any industrial or commercial setting where frequent vehicle weighing is required. They are also used to verify vehicle weights before entry to the public highway, supporting compliance with road safety and load regulations.
Yes, absolutely! MWS dynamic axle weighing systems can be fully integrated with ANPR (Automatic Number Plate Recognition) cameras, enabling automatic vehicle identification alongside weight capture. This removes the need for manual data entry, reduces the risk of errors, and ensures every vehicle movement is accurately logged.
MWS systems can be combined with cloud-based data capture and reporting software, giving operators the ability to monitor, record, and manage vehicle weights in real time. This provides complete traceability for vehicles entering or leaving site premises, and makes it straightforward to retrieve historical records for audits, compliance reporting, or operational analysis.

MWS offers a range of dynamic axle weighing solutions to suit different applications and budgets. These include RWS Axle Weighing Scales, which feature a reinforced flush-floor platform for vehicles in transit; Abnormal Load Axle Weighing Scales for movement orders requiring detailed axle and gross weight reporting; and Dini Argeo Portable Wireless Weigh Pads for flexible, site-adaptable weighing. Our team can help identify the right solution for your specific operational requirements.
Dynamic axle weighing helps operators ensure vehicles are within legal weight limits before they exit a site and enter the public highway. By accurately recording individual axle weights and total gross vehicle weights, the system supports compliance with road traffic legislation and load regulations. Automated data capture also creates a clear audit trail, which can be invaluable in the event of an inspection or dispute.
Installation typically requires a concrete pit constructed to specific dimensions, along with appropriate drainage and cable routing. The exact requirements will depend on the platform size, site layout, and whether ANPR or other integrations are included. MWS can provide detailed technical drawings and work alongside your civil works contractor to ensure the site is prepared to the correct specification.
To maintain reliable performance, dynamic axle weighing systems should be subject to routine cleaning, regular inspections, and scheduled calibrations. MWS offers ongoing servicing and calibration support to keep your system operating accurately and in compliance with relevant standards. Our engineers have extensive experience across a wide range of industrial weighing environments. Learn more about our calibration services.
