Intercomp LS-WIM™ Low Speed Weigh-In-Motion Axle Scale Systems
The Intercomp LS-WIM™ (Low Speed Weigh-In-Motion) axle scale systems represent the forefront of precise, low-speed vehicle weight determination. These systems offer an ideal solution for applications where accurate measurement of axle load and gross weight is required while vehicles are moving slowly, whether for traffic monitoring, agricultural applications, or logistics inspections.
LS-WIM™ technology combines reliability and rapid deployment with high-precision measurement, minimizing traffic disruption.
Key Features and Advantages
The Intercomp LS-WIM™ systems feature several functions that distinguish them from competitors:
- High Precision Measurement: Specifically designed to provide exceptionally accurate axle and gross weight data at low speeds (typically under 10-15 km/h).
- Portability and Quick Setup: The system's modular construction allows for quick setup and dismantling, making it ideal for temporary checkpoints or variable locations.
- Robust Construction: Components designed for durability in industrial environments ensure a long service life even under extreme conditions.
- Integrated Data Management: Compatible with Intercomp's advanced displays and software, enabling real-time data acquisition, storage, and analysis.
- Versatile Application: Excellently suited for weighing heavy-duty trucks, agricultural machinery, and special vehicles.

System Components and Accessories
The flexibility of the LS-WIM™ system is ensured by the wide range of available accessories and software, allowing for complete adaptation to user needs.
Displays, Software, and Data Management
For the processing and recording of measurements, Intercomp offers several advanced solutions:
- TAC30™ CPU Touchscreen Indicator: Intuitive user interface, high-capacity database management, and ease of use.
- RFX® Wireless Handheld Indicator: Allows the operator to read and record weight data from a safe distance, thereby increasing safety in busy areas.
- ACWeigh™ Software: Special software solutions for in-depth analysis of measurement data, generation of reports, and archiving.
- iACWeigh™: Mobile application-based solutions for instant access to and management of weight data.
Application Areas Details
The versatility of LS-WIM™ technology allows it to be used in numerous industries:
- ITS/Authority Checks:
- Portable Enforcement: Quickly deployable on busy roadways for the identification of overweight vehicles.
- Data logging: Collection of detailed traffic weight data for infrastructure planning.
- Port and Gate Control: Checking the weight of entering and exiting vehicles for security and tolling purposes.
- Agricultural Applications:
- Although LS-WIM™ primarily focuses on road applications, portable weighing systems with similar technology (e.g., SW™ Portable Scales) excellently complement agricultural weighing needs, such as checking the weight of seed tenders, feed mixers (TMR Mixer Scales), or grain transporters.
- Commercial Fleets and Logistics:
- Fleet operators can use it to optimize vehicle loading and monitor compliance with regulations, minimizing the risk of fines.
The Advantage of Portability
A key element of Intercomp LS-WIM™ systems is portability. The lightweight yet extremely durable weigh pads (similar to LS630-WIM™ or LS788-WIM™ models) allow for rapid relocation. This is especially important for police and temporary site applications where measurement points change frequently. The system can be quickly set up, and measurements can begin immediately after connecting the appropriate display unit.
Further Intercomp Interconnect Solutions
The LS-WIM™ product family is part of Intercomp's broader product range, which includes precision weighing for the most diverse fields:
- Wheel/Axle Scales: This includes the LP600™ low-profile scales for static weighing, as well as the portable PT300™ and LTR788™ wheel scales.
- ITS/Enforcement Scales: Includes embedded WIM platforms and static portable scales (e.g., AX900™ axle weighing systems).
- Aerospace Scales: High-capacity platform scales (AC series) and Jack Weigh Kits for determining aircraft weight and center of gravity.
- Military Applications: Specially reinforced and certified weighing systems (e.g., LS630-MIL) that comply with strict military standards.
Intercomp is committed to providing the highest quality measurement solutions, ensuring that the LS-WIM™ system delivers reliable and accurate results in every application.
