Real-time axle-by-axle and gross weight readouts for vans, tippers, bulk carriers, and waste vehicles, giving drivers the data to load right the first time.
Trade-approved onboard weighing for bulk haulage and waste collection, capturing accurate, auditable weight data at the point of load for billing and compliance.
Application-specific installations developed with vehicle builders and fleet engineering teams: sensor placement, display integration, and telematics connectivity.
VPG Onboard Weighing serves customers worldwide. In North America, two specialist brands extend the family with deep roots in their industries:
Field-proven weighing for North American forestry for over 30 years. Long and Short Logger systems with Titan II load cells — triple-redundant sealing, temperature compensated — keeping log haulers at maximum legal load on every run, on-road and off. Tuffer front loader Scales improve construction efficiency. Aircraft weighing systems keep plane and helicopters in balance.

Browse WASTEWeigh →Around the world, overload enforcement is moving from spot checks to systematic, technology-based regimes — and onboard systems are written into the rules:
Since May 2021, Directive (EU) 2015/719 obliges every member state to actively identify likely-overweight vehicles — using road sensors or onboard weighing equipment — and report check results to Brussels every two years. Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/1213 standardizes onboard weighing equipment for remote enforcement readout.
The NHVR's Smart OBM regime makes type-approved onboard mass systems a condition of road access for high-productivity and higher-mass-limit vehicles, paired with mandatory telematics — extended to further vehicle classes and states (Queensland and South Australia from January 2027). Chain-of-Responsibility law makes everyone in the supply chain accountable for mass compliance.
Weigh-in-motion screening networks, direct-vision and roadside digital enforcement are scaling across North America, the UK and Asia. Wherever axle-weight rules gain teeth, the economics flip: an onboard system stops being an accessory and becomes the operating license for full payloads.
EDOC & In-House Load Cells: Built for Road Salt, Mud and Decades of Duty.
Where applications call for load-cell precision — refuse bodies, logging bunks, fifth wheels — OBW's US brands run on cells designed and built in-house: Vulcan On-Board Scales Super-Beam™ and SI Onboard Titan II, finished in VPG's proprietary EDOC electrodeposited organic coating. EDOC passed the ASTM B-117 1,000-hour salt-spray test with no evidence of corrosion and has logged zero coating defects in 15 years of harsh-environment service.
