is there such a thing as a digital pressure gauge?

i got caught off gaurd last week with a heavy load. gauges looked good. so i'd like to see aobut a digital read out that i can maybe add the weight so i know what i have exactly instead of having to drive 200 miles to the closest truckstop with a scale to find out i'm heavy.

 

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

 

how about some infor on where to find such a thing would be nice.

 

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 !!!

 

your pretty funny. NOTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT.

and i don't pull a box. nor do i haul skids.

 

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.
These folks have come a long weigh... get it weigh ? HAHAHAHA I crack me up sometimes

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
