Why the Upgrade?
When the team decided it was time to upgrade from their AXM standard range system, their goal was clear: a smarter, simpler way to manage fleet weights while staying fully compliant with government regulations. The move to the SmartOBM AXS model delivered on that—and then some.
The AXS SmartOBM Solution
From day one, drivers noticed how intuitive the AXS system is. With a user-friendly interface, checking and managing weights became faster and easier. No complicated setups or guesswork—everything is straightforward, so the team can focus on the road ahead.
From Upgrade to Measurable Benefits
Compact, Tough, and Reliable
The AXS model is compact yet tough, with no cracked boxes or fragile components to worry about. The team appreciates the durability and long-lasting build that keeps their operations running smoothly.
Visibility That Makes a Difference
The LED screen with RGB indicator ring, gives drivers instant notifications and alerts through the colour changes. This makes it easy to respond in real time, improving both accuracy and safety on every haul.
Smooth Transition, easy install
Upgrading often comes with headaches—but not this time. The AXS system uses the same wiring as the previous AXM setup, making installation quick and hassle-free. Bordertown Haulage was up and running without downtime or complex adjustments.
Convenience at Your Fingertips
The AXS app brings all the benefits of the system straight to the palm of your hand. Fleet managers and drivers can monitor loads, access historical data, and manage operations from anywhere. Convenience, compliance, and control—all in one place.
Customisable accessories
Border Town Haulage also values the variety of brackets available with the AXS system, which makes installation flexible and adaptable to different vehicle setups. Plus, upgrading was hassle-free—existing wiring was all that was needed, meaning minimal downtime.
Support You Can Count On
The team also praised Airtec’s service, highlighting their responsive, knowledgeable support throughout the upgrade process. Knowing that expert help is just a call away adds an extra layer of confidence in managing their fleet.
Compliance Made Simple
One of the key reasons Bordertown Haulage chose SmartOBM AXS was to stay on top of government weight regulations. The system ensures accurate, real-time data capture, helping the fleet remain compliant with transport laws and avoid costly fines. Adopting a Smart OBM solution is not just about convenience—it’s about peace of mind and operating responsibly.
Results That Speak for Themselves
Since the upgrade, Bordertown Haulage has seen smoother operations, better visibility, and increased confidence in fleet management. The AXS system has made weight management seamless, helping the team stay efficient, compliant, and focused on what they do best: moving goods safely and reliably.
