Today more than ever, there is great concern over damage to the nation's highways, secondary streets and bridges caused by overweight and unbalanced vehicles. Most every state and municipal law enforcement agency have adopted and practice weight inpection programs in an effort to insure highway safety and protect taxpayer invertment.

By utilizing large acapcity fixed truck scales, weight inpections are typically administered at roadside stations along the major highways. Unfortunately, it has been cost prohibitive to apply the same inspection methods along secondary roads. However, today there is a cost-effective alternative for exercising accurate and spontaneous inspection programs virtually anywhere.

Through the application of portable wheel and axle load scales, weight inspection can be administered at a fraction of the cost associated with fixed truck scales. Both law enforcement and trucking companies have benifeited alike from this product concept.
