is there such a thing as a digital pressure gauge?

Ever have your Blood Pressure taken?... the simple answer is Yes.
Is that all you wanted to know?

 

cant you get a scale on your trailer? or a portable ?

 

A portable scale is a cumbersome device but heck,... if that's what you want to do rather than have a tally of the information (per skid) from the shipper and properly space the loading (stagger) of the box then far be it for me to rock the boat.

I'm doing the research and here's a couple of links to help you with your scale problem (man, am I happy to be in a tanker... don't miss THAT at all).

Just google "Portable Truck Scale"... these things aren't cheap !!!

 

You're welcome... I'll make a note not to do what YOU should have done for yourself... RESEARCH.
Funny or NOTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT,... I got your information.
Next time,

YOU GET IT.

 

I believe your wanting Right Weigh load scale for trucks.
I have one of their original mechanical gauges (14 yrs old) on the trailer.

We use Air-Weigh digital scales. They work great to convert air pressure to on the ground weight.
Accurate to 300lbs. Been using them for the last 5 years. We were having the same problem on our dumps loading heavy. The air guages are too much guess work. A couple psi high and you could be 1000lbs over.
Check out their website. Air-weigh.com

 

RightWeigh is what you want. They have a digital set-up that will give you the tractor and trailer weight in pounds and not PSI
