Why real-time load weight monitoring for fleet management is essential
Overloaded vehicles mean risk: high fines, faster wear and tear and unexpected lost time. With real-time weight monitoring, you always know exactly how much your vehicles are loaded - even before the police do.
Weigh in Motion (WIM) in Belgium: automatic detection of overloaded vehicles
The Weigh In Motion (WIM) system is today being used by the Flemish road inspection to automatically detect overloaded vehicles.
On 10 highways in Flanders, WIM sensors continuously measure the loading weight of passing vehicles.
This way, only vehicles with an increased risk of overloading are effectively inspected.
With this technology, the efficiency of weighing checks increases from 15% to 83%.
For companies, that means one thing: the chances of intercepting a transloaded vehicle are higher today than ever before.
How confident are you that your fleet is correctly loaded on the road?
Damage to vehicle
Overloading accelerates wear on tires, suspension and axles.
Time loss
An overweight vehicle may not leave or proceed.
Fines up to €6,000
Just one road check can weigh heavily on your costs.
Exact weight?
Drivers often do not know if their vehicle is loaded correctly.
No view of cargo
As a Fleet Manager, you often don't know until an inspection that a vehicle is overloaded.
Greater chance of being caught
With Weigh in Motion, no randomness: every vehicle is automatically scanned.
The integrated solution: LOAD.TEC + FLEET.CONNECT
Your advantage: measuring in the vehicle and simultaneously monitoring from dispatch - everything works seamlessly together to ensure that your vehicles are correctly loaded on the road.
Key benefits of a Load.Tec weighing system + Fleet.connect dashboard
Real-time visibility of each vehicle's loaded weight
Less chance of high fines and related costs.
Less wear and lower maintenance costs
Better planning and more safety on the road
Everything connected on 1 management platform
How does real-time load weight control work?
1
Installation of Load.tec
Air pressure sensors measure the axle load of each vehicle.
2
Live data to Fleet.connect
All weight data recorded via the tracker is transmitted in real time to your fleet dashboard.
3
Real-time reporting
Overloaded? This is immediately reported in the Load.tec app as well as on the Fleet.connect platform.
4
Analysis for optimization
Track trends, plan maintenance and improve efficiency with historical data.

FAQ | Frequently asked questions about weighing systems a cargo space control software
Weigh in Motion (WIM) monitors vehicles on highways via installed "loops" in the road surface.
LoadTEC systems measure directly into your vehicles and provide continuous feedback to FLEET.connect.
Yes, the sensors are compatible with most vehicle models, with air or leaf suspension.
The solution works for:
Vans, trucks and trailers
Fleets with air suspension or fixed axles
Small and large fleets
Integration via API with your existing software
The LoadTEC weighing systems and Fleet.connect hardware deliver highly reliable results. Deviation averages under 2%, depending on vehicle configuration and conditions.
Yes. The system just helps you avoid overloading before you reach a checkpoint. The measurements are not intended as legal weighing, but as preventive monitoring for compliance, so you don't risk unexpected fines.
The price depends on the number of vehicles, the desired functions and the type of suspension. You will always receive a personalized quote, fully tailored to your fleet.
A "plug & play" fleet management system means you can get started right away without complicated installation. You simply place a compact tracker in the vehicle - it automatically records all relevant data, such as the current load weight, location and status.
The data is transmitted in real time to the online Fleet.Connect platform, where you can track and analyze everything clearly. This gives you reliable insights at lightning speed, without the need for expensive or complex cabling.
