Axle Plan: Android tool for tractor-trailer axle load calculation
Calculates axle loads by taking cargo weight and its position on a semi-trailer to compute how that mass distributes across tractor and trailer axles. Axle Plan, developed by Nikaro, is an Android utility built for pre-trip load checks and regulatory compliance. It offers quick weight-distribution analysis, support for multiple vehicle configurations, and a small installation footprint, aimed at professional drivers, fleet planners, and heavy-vehicle operators who need fast, on-device calculations.
Built specifically to compute axle-by-axle weight distribution
Axle Plan focuses on axle load calculation rather than total gross weight: users enter cargo weight and its placement on a semi-trailer, and the app calculates how that weight splits between the tractor and trailer axles. The input model supports different trailer configurations, so calculations reflect typical tractor-trailer combinations used in heavy transport operations.
Calculation reliability depends on precise input and configuration
Results reflect the math the app performs, so accuracy rests on correct cargo weights and placement data entered by the user. The app runs its computations locally, which supports offline use for field checks. Operators should cross-check the app's outputs against vehicle plates and scales when finalising loads to confirm legal compliance.
Runs on Android with a small installation and no external connection required
The app installs in roughly 18–20 MB and executes calculations on-device, which lets drivers perform checks without a constant network connection. The developer presents it as a lightweight tool for quick use in the field; it does not link to vehicle hardware or require device modification, so it fits into standard mobile workflows for drivers and planners.
Designed for planning and compliance, not route guidance or enforcement
Axle Plan is a planning utility for pre-trip weight checks and regulatory avoidance of overweight fines, not a navigation or enforcement system. The app helps logistics staff and drivers estimate axle loads, and users remain responsible for ensuring that their load distributions meet local regulations and carrier policies.
Practical tool for drivers who need quick axle checks
Axle Plan is a focused option for professional drivers and fleet staff who need on-device axle-load calculations during pre-trip planning. Its small installer and local computations make it convenient for roadside checks, while correct use requires accurate input and cross-checking against physical scales or vehicle documentation. Users should treat the app as a planning aid and verify compliance through official measurements.
