Weighsmart B-2 Wireless Weigh pads 5 / 10 / 15 – ton Standalone
Stop guessing your axle weights — be legitimate and safe on NZ roads.
The WeighSmart B-2 is a high-capacity portable truck axle weigh pad re-engineered specifically for New Zealand’s demanding transport and infrastructure sectors.
Designed for fleet managers and owner-operators who must comply with VDAM 2016 regulations, the B-2 allows you to verify axle weight limits (8.2t) and Gross Vehicle Mass (GVM) instantly on-site.
Multipurpose & Versatile Engineering Beyond the road, the B-2 is the ultimate multi-tool for precision weighing.
Its rugged, low-profile design makes it perfect for weighing boats, light aircraft, large odd-shaped structures, and portable houses.
Whether you are a truck builder calibrating Static Rollover Threshold (SRT) after a crane install or a logistics manager moving oversized loads, the B-2 delivers accuracy where fixed weighbridges can’t.
-
VDAM & HPMV Compliance: Real-time axle load monitoring to avoid NZTA overweight infringements from NZ Police CVST.
-
Optimize Your RUC: Verify true weights to ensure your Road User Charges are accurate and fair.
-
Built for Modifications: Essential for checking tare weight after adding cranes, hiabs, or heavy accessories.
-
Re-Designed for NZ: Low-profile, reinforced truck weigh scales built for construction, logging, and primary industry sites.
- User Friendly Features: Solid detachable rubber ramps for easy drive on/ off, built in large clear display and rechargeable battery, handles and wheels for easy moving.
Don’t risk a roadside fine or a safety failure. WEIGHSMART B-2 helps you load legitimate, stay safe, and move with confidence.

Precision Engineering Meets Roadside Reliability
In the New Zealand transport industry, a few hundred kilograms can be the difference between a profitable trip and a massive VDAM infringement fine.
The WeighSmart B-2 isn’t just a scale; it is a precision-engineered management system designed to keep your fleet operational, legal, and safe.
Master Your Axle Load Distribution
New Zealand’s 8.2-tonne axle limit is one of the strictest in the world. Even if your total Gross Combination Mass (GCM) is legal, an unevenly distributed load can lead to individual axle overloading.
The WeighSmart B-2 allows you to check individual axle groups—steering, drive, and trailer—ensuring your load is balanced perfectly.
This doesn’t just prevent fines; it reduces tyre wear and improves fuel efficiency by optimizing the vehicle’s rolling resistance.
The Essential Tool for Truck Builders & Engineers
When you upgrade a truck with a heavy crane, hiab, or custom service body, the original manufacturer’s tare weight becomes obsolete.
-
SRT Verification: Use the B-2 to find the exact center of gravity for Static Rollover Threshold (SRT) calculations.
-
Component Longevity: Ensure that heavy modifications aren’t pushing the front axle or suspension components past their mechanical limits before the truck even leaves the workshop.
Beyond the Highway: Versatility by Design
The B-2 was re-engineered with a low-profile 58mm height to accommodate more than just heavy haulage. Its high-tensile aluminum construction and waterproof sealing make it the go-to solution for:
-
Marine & Aviation: Weighing boats on trailers or light aircraft to ensure safe towing and flight balance.
-
Oversized Structures: Checking the weight of portable houses, cabins, and odd-shaped industrial modules before transport.
-
Primary Industries: Ideal for on-farm use to check bin weights or fertilizer spreaders in rugged environments.
Why Choose the WeighSmart B-2?
-
Wireless Connectivity: No cables to trip over or get crushed by heavy tyres.
-
High-Resolution Sensors: Provides accuracy even on slightly uneven site surfaces.
-
Advanced Load Cells: Built to withstand the high-impact “shocks” of heavy loading and unloading.
-
Easy Calibration: Minimal downtime with simple, user-friendly interface.
Stop leaving your compliance to chance. Invest in a tool that pays for itself by preventing just one overweight infringement.
Frequently Asked Questions:
How do portable weigh pads help with VDAM compliance?
The VDAM 2016 rule focuses on individual axle weight limits, not just gross weight. The WeighSmart B-2 allows you to measure each axle group (steering, drive, and trailer) independently. This ensures you aren’t “legit” on total weight but “illegal” on a single overloaded axle, which is where most fines occur in NZ.
Can I use these to check my Static Rollover Threshold (SRT)?
Yes. For truck builders and engineers, the B-2 is used to find the exact tare weight and center of balance after modifications. This data is critical for calculating the 0.45g SRT required for NZ specialized vehicle certification.
Are these scales suitable for off-road or construction sites?
Absolutely. We have re-engineered the B-2 with a reinforced, low-profile chassis and waterproof load cells specifically for rugged NZ environments like logging pads, construction zones, and primary industry yards.
Do I need a special permit to use portable weigh pads in NZ?
No permit is required to own or operate the scales. In fact, using them is a proactive way to ensure you meet the requirements for HPMV permits and avoid NZTA roadside infringement notices.
Can the B-2 weigh items other than trucks?
Yes, the B-2 is highly versatile. It is frequently used for weighing boats, light aircraft, portable houses, and oversized industrial structures where traditional weighbridges are inaccessible.
