Axtec Onboard Axle Load Indicators – Stay Compliant, Drive Confident
Managing axle weights is more than just good practice—it’s a legal requirement. At TWS Australia, we supply and install Axtec Onboard Axle Load Indicators, giving transport operators real-time visibility into axle and gross weights to ensure safe loading, legal compliance, and reduced risk under the Heavy Vehicle National Law (HVNL) and Chain of Responsibility (CoR).
Whether you’re running light vans, rigid trucks, or waste collection vehicles, Axtec’s technology helps prevent overloads, improve safety, and protect your business.

How the Axtec System Works
Mounted in the cab, the Axtec display shows a live, colour-coded bar graph representing axle group weights and gross load. The system draws data from sensors installed on the suspension, delivering constant feedback without the need for driver action or calibration during use.
- Automatic Operation: No buttons to press, no menus to navigate
- Driver-Friendly Display: At-a-glance load data, with clear overload warnings
- Data Output: Load data can be stored or transmitted to fleet systems for auditing and reporting

LCV Users’ Guide
This manual is intended to provide guidance for users of the Axtec OnBoard Axle Load Indicator. This innovative system is designed to help protect operators and drivers of commercial vehicles from axle and gross vehicle overloads. It is suitable for use with all 2-axle rigids, and 3- and 4-axle rigid vehicles with any type of suspension on the steering axle, and rubber or air rear suspension.
Axtec OnBoard does not require any input from the driver, nor any formal training. Best results are obtained when the vehicle is standing on level ground, preferably after gently moving a few metres after loading. This allows the suspension system to shake out any inertia following the loading/unloading process. Very good results are also obtained when rolling along a level road at a constant slow speed.
