Introduction

Compatible with Airtec AXS and AXM Model Smart OBM Scales

The AXR In Cab LCD display can be integrated with our AXS Truck Scales to remotely display multiple weight readings in addition to the GCM on one screen. To cycle through the weights of each axle group from inside the cab, simply rotate the outside ring of the display to explore the list of connected scales, with the Gross Combination Mass (GCM). The AXR in Cab LCD display features a durable ASA Plastic body, along with a scratch resistant LCD screen. The display is a vibrant, interactive screen that remains clearly visible day or night. The display can be easily mounted inside the cab into a 52mm gauge mounting hole on the dashboard or at a suitable vantage point with a range of mounts available to suit your needs.
