Straight Truck Axle Weight Balancing Tool
A simplified lever estimate: weight shifts to the axle it sits closest to. Always confirm on a certified scale.
How it works: a simple lever model puts more of the load on the axle the cargo sits closer to (fraction = distance behind steer ÷ wheelbase). Real distribution depends on the load shape and overhang — this is a planning estimate; confirm on a scale. Nothing you enter leaves your device.
Make sure the rate covers it.
