Fontaine to install LoadMaxx scales on wider range of vehicles and suspension types

CHARLOTTE, NC and EUGENE, OR (March 1, 2023) — Air-Weigh, the leader in electronic on-board scales, is making it easier for customers to add on-board weighing technology to new vocational vehicles through an expanded agreement with Fontaine Modification. Fontaine Modification Medium & Heavy Truck Operations will now install  Air-Weigh LoadMaxx on-board scales on a wider range of vehicle applications and suspension types at its nationwide network of modification centers. Installation is seamless to dealers and end-users thanks to Fontaine’s extensive ship-thru agreements with leading truck OEMs.

“This is a great expanded relationship that now allows end users and dealers in the on-highway/severe service/heavy haul, and medium duty market that use air or spring/mechanical suspensions to get an on-board scale solution on their new vehicle,” said Gordon Virginski, Air-Weigh director of business development.

LoadMaxx is a complete all-in-one on-board scale solution, displaying steer, drive, trailer, GVW and net payload weights automatically in the cab without the need for driver interaction.
