Weigh as you tip
Hydraulic pressure is measured while the trailer body is raised, rather than requiring a separate weighbridge visit for every load.
Hydraulic trailer weighing
A practical trailer weighing system that uses the tipping hydraulics and trailer angle to estimate load weight, then makes those weights useful on your iPhone.
Pre-launch: final specifications, compatibility, pricing and availability will be confirmed after testing.
Built around the job
Trailer Weigher is being designed to fit into the normal tipping process and keep the result useful after the trailer is empty.
Hydraulic pressure is measured while the trailer body is raised, rather than requiring a separate weighbridge visit for every load.
A trailer-mounted Angle Sensor gives the system a repeatable reference as the hydraulic geometry changes through the tip.
Each trailer can have its own calibration so the calculation reflects that trailer's hydraulic setup rather than assuming every trailer is identical.
Save finished loads and build running totals by trailer, field, farm and storage location in the Trailer Weigher app.
Main hardware
Reads the pressure signal, receives the trailer angle and runs the trailer-specific calculation locally.
Trailer-mounted sensor
Stays mounted on the trailer and gives the system a repeatable body-angle reference during tipping.
How it works
The system combines measurements from the trailer with its own calibration, then sends the result to the iPhone app.
Connects into the trailer tipping circuit and measures hydraulic pressure as the body is raised.
Stays mounted on the trailer and sends pitch and roll information wirelessly to the Main Box.
Combines pressure and angle with that trailer's calibration to calculate the estimated load locally.
Shows the live weight and lets you save loads so field, farm and storage totals build as you work.
More than a number
The Trailer Weigher app is being built around the information you actually need during harvest: the current load, where it came from and where it went.
Development status
Trailer Weigher is currently in pre-launch development and real-world testing. Registering interest does not place an order or commit you to buying anything.
Main Box, Pressure Sensor and Angle Sensor architecture developed.
Live weighing, trailer setup, calibration and load records in active development.
Repeatability, compatibility and final calibration behaviour are being validated.
Final specifications, availability and pricing will follow testing.
