Getting the job done right starts with innovative design. That’s why Ledwell teams use TruckScience, a powerful tool that helps us build safe, legal, and efficient trucks faster. Its Axle Weight Calculator combines spec sheets, regulations, and real-world data in one platform.
What TruckScience Brings to the Table
Chassis Optimization: Match the right chassis to the right body to maximize legal payload.
Professional Reports: See breakdowns of axle weights, payload distribution, and center of gravity.
Real-Time What-If Scenarios: Test different layouts and configurations instantly.
Smart Design in Action
Innovative design tools like TruckScience don’t just improve engineering—they help connect teams and create clarity for customers. Reagan Delk, one of our engineers, uses TruckScience daily to streamline the design process and ensure every build meets DOT regulations.
“It helps us quickly check against rules and visualize how small changes—like shifting the wheelbase or adding a pusher axle—impact the entire build,” he explains.
That real-time feedback recently helped solve a challenge for a customer with a flatbed truck. Using TruckScience, Reagan modeled two configurations and clearly showed the benefit: with the pusher axle, the customer could legally haul their full load in one trip instead of two.
This level of clarity doesn’t stay in the shop it carries over to the field, where our Sales Team puts it to work. In Florida, Regional Sales Manager Arturo Lasanta saw the same impact during a visit to Rentalex. Bob Krueger had particular equipment requirements for a HydraTilt truck. Arturo teamed up with Engineering to create a detailed drawing of Bob’s setup. With that visual in hand, Bob got the answers to move ahead, resulting in a successful partnership.
TruckScience helps Ledwell turn complex specs into clear solutions. Connecting Engineering and Sales with real-time data and visuals ensures you get equipment built right the first time. It’s just one more way Ledwell delivers innovative, dependable equipment designed to keep you working and move you forward.
