Ask a questionIs VanWeigh a weighing system?
No. VanWeigh is an overload protection system. It is accurate to within ±2.5% between 90 and 100% of gross vehicle weight, the range where overloading becomes a risk.
How often does it need to be calibrated?
Thanks to our patented "fit and forget" technology, VanWeigh does not need recalibrating unless the vehicle is physically changed.
Can it connect to telematics or other on-board systems?
Yes. VanWeigh has a serial RS232 port and a third-party CAN port for connecting to telematics or on-board OEM systems.
How long does it take to fit?
Around 4 hours to fit and calibrate when installed by one of our engineers or an approved reseller.
What size vehicles does VanWeigh suit?
Any 2 axle vehicle up to 7.5 tonnes. For lighter vans, also see VanWeigh Lite.
What fitters and fleets say
The system has no moving parts, which means no components to wear or stretch, so no re-calibration is required. We would recommend VanWeigh every time.
VanWeigh is easy to understand and requires no driver input. Once it is installed, no re-calibration is needed. In 12 months, we saw no issues at all.
There is no fiddling about to add up weight, just load the vehicles and the unit does the rest. Drivers can see straight away if they need to alter their load.
