A fleet operator recently shared how one of their trucks was pulled over at a SANRAL weighbridge. The load was over by just a few hundred kilograms.

The result?

⏱️ Hours of delay

💸 A costly fine under the National Road Traffic Act

📉 Missed delivery deadlines and unhappy customers

In South Africa, overloading isn’t just a slap on the wrist — it’s a major compliance issue. RTMS standards, SANRAL checks, and roadside inspections are designed to protect our roads and ensure safety.

But here’s the hidden cost many overlook: lost cargo.

📦 Loads shifting and falling off during transit

🔒 Theft going unnoticed until it’s too late

With real-time load sensing technology, fleets can:

✅ Avoid SANRAL and RTMS overloading penalties

✅ Detect sudden load drops from theft or falling cargo

✅ Optimize payload capacity legally

✅ Reduce wear on tyres, brakes, and suspensions

✅ Improve fuel efficiency and delivery performance

In an industry where margins are tight and compliance is non-negotiable, monitoring your vehicle’s mass load isn’t just about avoiding fines — it’s about protecting your cargo and your reputation.
