Dini Argeo Vehicle Weigh Pads – Portable Axle & Gross Vehicle Weighing
Dini Argeo vehicle weigh pads are portable axle weighing systems designed for accurate, rapid measurement of axle loads and gross vehicle weights in the field, without the need for a fixed weighbridge installation. Engineered by Dini Argeo — one of Italy’s leading weighing technology manufacturers with over 50 years of experience — these systems combine robust, weatherproof pad construction with advanced wireless connectivity and intuitive indicators, delivering professional-grade vehicle weighing for overload prevention, compliance checking, fleet management, and enforcement applications.
Dini Argeo weigh pads are designed for rapid deployment: place the pads on a firm, level surface, connect wirelessly to the indicator, and the system is operational in minutes. Individual axle weights, axle group weights, and gross vehicle weight are displayed simultaneously, giving a complete vehicle weight profile in a single pass. This makes them particularly effective for identifying overloaded axles — a common compliance issue where the gross vehicle weight may be within legal limits but individual axle loads exceed permitted maximums. Wireless communication between pads and indicator eliminates trailing cables in the working area, improving safety and ease of use in roadside and site environments.

Frequently Asked Questions
How quickly can Dini Argeo weigh pads be set up?
Most Dini Argeo weigh pad systems can be deployed and operational in 5–15 minutes. The pads are placed on a firm, level surface under each axle, connected wirelessly to the indicator, and the vehicle is driven onto the pads. No groundworks, mains power supply, or permanent installation is required, making them ideal for temporary, roadside, or multi-site use.
What is the difference between axle weight and gross vehicle weight?
Axle weight is the load carried by a single axle or axle group. Gross vehicle weight (GVW) is the total weight of the vehicle including its load. UK road traffic legislation sets legal limits for both — a vehicle can be within its GVW limit but still be overloaded on an individual axle, which is a separate offence. Dini Argeo weigh pad systems measure both simultaneously, giving a complete compliance picture.
Are Dini Argeo weigh pads approved for legal-for-trade and enforcement use?
Legal metrology approved models are available in the Dini Argeo weigh pad range, suitable for use in enforcement and commercial applications. For roadside enforcement by transport authorities, the specific approval class and calibration requirements must be confirmed — contact our team for guidance on approved models for your application.
What surface do Dini Argeo weigh pads need to be used on?
Weigh pads should be used on a firm, level, and stable surface for accurate results. Tarmac, concrete, and compacted hardcore are all suitable. Soft ground, gravel, or uneven surfaces can affect accuracy and should be avoided. Approach ramps or plates are recommended to ensure the vehicle drives smoothly onto the pads without shock loading.
Is UKAS calibration available for Dini Argeo weigh pads?
Yes. UKAS-traceable calibration certificates are available on request for all Dini Argeo vehicle weigh pad systems. Contact our team for calibration and service support specific to your application and any legal metrology requirements.
