Truck Scale Global Market Report 2026

A truck scale is a large weighing platform designed to measure the total weight of heavy vehicles and their loads. It is typically installed on a solid foundation and equipped with load cells that accurately capture weight data when a truck drives onto the scale. These measurements are crucial for ensuring compliance with weight regulations and maintaining road safety.

The primary types of truck scales are portable truck scales and fixed truck scales. Portable truck scales are mobile weighing systems designed to measure the weight of trucks and their loads at various locations, providing flexibility and convenience for temporary or remote weighing operations. These systems use analog and digital technologies and are available in different weighing capacities, including below 30,000 lbs, 30,001 lbs to 70,000 lbs, 70,001 lbs to 100,000 lbs, and above 100,000 lbs. They are commonly used in applications such as logistics, construction, mining, agriculture, waste management, and others, and serve a range of end users including small enterprises, medium-sized enterprises, large corporations, and government and municipal authorities.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

Tariffs are impacting the truck scale market by increasing the cost of imported load cells, electronic indicators, steel platforms, sensors, and weighing software components. Logistics, mining, and government infrastructure projects in North America and Europe are particularly affected due to dependence on imported precision weighing systems. These tariffs are increasing installation and upgrade costs for weighbridge operators and slowing replacement cycles. At the same time, tariffs are driving domestic manufacturing of weighing platforms, local calibration services, and regional supplier development, supporting long-term market stability.

The truck scale market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $2.66 billion in 2025 to $2.84 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.8%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to expansion of logistics and freight transportation, growth in road infrastructure development, increasing enforcement of vehicle weight regulations, rising use of weighbridges in mining operations, availability of advanced load sensing technologies.

The truck scale market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $3.65 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.5%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing adoption of smart transportation infrastructure, rising investments in logistics automation, expansion of e-commerce freight movement, growing demand for real-time compliance monitoring, increasing use of cloud-based weight data systems. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing deployment of digital truck weighing systems, rising adoption of in-motion weighing technology, growing integration of iot-enabled load monitoring, expansion of modular portable truck scales, enhanced accuracy through advanced load cell design.

The growth in logistics and freight volumes is expected to drive the growth of the truck scale market going forward. Logistics and freight volumes refer to the total quantity of goods transported and managed through various supply chain networks, encompassing the movement, storage, and handling of shipments across different transportation modes. This growth is fueled by increasing international trade activities, as the rising exchange of goods across borders boosts demand for efficient transportation and supply chain services. Truck scales support logistics and freight operations by ensuring accurate weight measurement of vehicles and loads, enhancing efficiency, safety, and regulatory compliance across transportation processes. For example, in June 2025, according to the United States Department of Transportation, a US-based government department, cross-border U.S. freight shipments with Canada and Mexico totaled $144.8 billion in March, representing an 8.4 percent increase compared to March 2024. Therefore, the growth in logistics and freight volumes is driving the growth of the truck scale market.

Primary companies operating in the truck scale market are focusing on developing innovative solutions, such as in-motion weighing systems, to enhance weighing efficiency, accuracy, and throughput in high-traffic operations. In-motion weighing systems are advanced technologies that measure the weight of vehicles or loads while they are moving, without requiring them to stop on the scale. For instance, in January 2025, Rice Lake Weighing Systems Inc., a US-based manufacturing company, launched Survivor OTR-IMS, an in-motion truck scale system designed to enhance efficiency in high-volume operations by enabling trucks to be weighed without stopping. The system features a patent-pending single-draft weighing technology that provides legal-for-trade weights for vehicles traveling at speeds of up to 6 miles per hour, ensuring smooth traffic flow. It includes the 1280 Enterprise Series weight indicator, LaserLight3 remote display, and a DOT-grade speed sensor, and is compatible with both new and existing SURVIVOR OTR truck scales with steel or concrete decks. The OTR-IMS system boosts facility throughput, reduces emissions by minimizing idle time, lowers maintenance needs by decreasing braking, and enhances safety by allowing drivers to complete weighing transactions directly from their cabs.

In November 2024, Michelli Weighing and Measurement Inc., a US-based industrial measurement and calibration services company, acquired American Scale LLC for an undisclosed amount. Through this acquisition, Michelli aimed to expand its service footprint into Kentucky and Indiana and enhance its nationwide support capabilities. American Scale LLC is a US-based company providing truck scales.
