The Problem: Fleet Fines, Load Rejections, and Guesswork
Know your weight while you load, not after.
Fleets told us the same story: drivers were guessing. Trucks were being turned away for overloads. Dispatchers had no visibility. And every rejected load meant lost time, wasted fuel, fines, and frustrated customers.
The HQ OnBoard Scale by AKTV8 PressureTech™ delivers live, shovel-by-shovel visibility so your fleet never leaves the yard overweight, underloaded, or unsure.

Why This Scale Changes Everything
Air-System Smart Sensor
Uses the pressure already in a truck’s air suspension, a full TPMS kit is not required. Reads instantly with each movement of the suspension and broadcasts wirelessly to the AKTV8 Pressure Tech App and Fleet office.
Fleet Profiles
Once you calibrate one truck, copy its profile to similar rigs. Deployment becomes copy and paste, fast, consistent, and technician friendly across the fleet.
Real Time Montoring
Watch live weight as the truck loads, one bucket, fork, or shovel at a time. Ideal for waste, aggregates, construction, municipal fleets, and more.
Accuracy & Durability
Independently tested within ±2% of certified truck scales. Water resistent, shock resistent, extreme temperature rated, and ready for harsh, daily fleet environments.

FAQ – OnBoard Scale
Who is AKTV8?
Creators of PressureTech™ intelligent, easy-to-install control and monitoring systems.
I have a single truck. How many sensors do I need? One OnBoard Scale Sensor. Install it on your truck’s air-suspended axle and you’re set. No Range Extender needed for single-truck setups — Bluetooth reaches the cab directly.
I run a semi with a 53-ft trailer. How many sensors do I need?
Two sensors plus a Range Extender for Commercial Vehicles (CV). One sensor on the tractor’s air-suspended axle, one on the trailer’s air-suspended axle. The Range Extender CV relays Bluetooth across the full length of your rig so your mobile app stays connected end-to-end.
I have a fleet of similar trucks. Can I deploy quickly?
Yes. The AKTV8 PressureTech™ app uses Fleet Profiles to calibrate one truck’s setup and copy it to every similar truck in your fleet. Faster deployment, consistent configuration, less training time for your team.
Where does it install?
Anywhere in the air-spring circuit between the air bag and the valve.
Do I need the app open while driving?
No. It runs in the background and notifies automatically.
Does the sensor sleep?
No. It broadcasts continuously.
