TCA Certified On-Board Mass Solutions
TCA Category B Certified On-Board Mass Solutions for PBS Operators
Running under Performance-Based Standards (PBS) or accessing concessional mass limits comes with one non-negotiable requirement: certified, auditable on-board mass monitoring. Loadmass supplies and supports TCA Certified Loadman on-board mass (OBM) scales — built for fleets and combinations that need to operate confidently within higher mass limits, without compromising on compliance.
Why TCA Certification matters for your fleet
Operating under PBS, Higher Mass Limits (HML), or other concessional mass schemes means your vehicles are approved to carry beyond standard general mass limits — but that approval comes with conditions. Regulators and the Transport Certification Australia (TCA) framework require verified, tamper-evident mass monitoring to maintain that access.
A non-certified scale isn’t just a compliance gap — it puts your concessional access, your accreditation, and your operation at risk.
Loadman OBM scales are TCA Category B Certified, meaning they meet the technical and data integrity standards required for fleets operating under:
- Performance-Based Standards (PBS) approved combinations
- Higher Mass Limits (HML)
- Concessional Mass Limits (CML)
- Intelligent Access Program (IAP) linked operations
Built for accuracy at scale (literally)
For operators running larger combinations — B-doubles, road trains, PBS-approved multi-combination vehicles — precision matters more, not less. A small measurement error compounds fast when you’re operating near concessional limits across every axle group.
Loadman scales are TCA Cateogry B, hard-wired, not Bluetooth — eliminating signal dropout and interference issues that can compromise accuracy on larger, more complex combinations. That means:
- Real-time, accurate axle group and gross mass readings
- Reliable performance across multi-trailer and PBS combinations
- Data integrity that holds up to TCA and regulator scrutiny
End-to-end support, built for fleet operators
Bigger fleets need more than just a product — they need a partner who can deliver and support at scale. Loadmass provides:
- Sales and consultation — we'll assess your combination type, mass scheme, and fleet size to recommend the right OBM setup
- Installation, your way — fitted at our purpose-built workshop, or via our mobile servicing fleet across NSW, VIC and QLD
- Calibration and training — every install includes full calibration and a walkthrough so your drivers and compliance team are confident from day one
- Scheduled recalibration — we manage your 12-month calibration cycle so certification stays current without you having to track it
- Ongoing support — phone and email support for the life of your OBM systems
Who this is for?
This solution is built for fleet and compliance managers running:
- B-doubles, road trains, and other PBS-approved combinations
- Operations accredited under HML or CML
- Civil, government, and heavy transport fleets requiring auditable mass compliance
- Multi-vehicle fleets where consistent, certified OBM is needed across every unit
FAQ
ask us
anything
Is Loadman OBM certified for PBS combinations?
Yes. Loadman scales are TCA Certified, meeting the requirements for fleets operating under Performance-Based Standards, Higher Mass Limits, and Concessional Mass Limits.
Do you support fleets running B-doubles or road trains?
Yes. Loadman scales are TCA Certified, meeting the requirements for fleets operating under Performance-Based Standards, Higher Mass Limits, and Concessional Mass Limits.
Do you support fleets running B-doubles or road trains?
Yes — Loadman OBM scales are suited to multi-trailer and PBS-approved combinations, with accurate axle group and gross mass monitoring across the full combination.
Where do you install and service OBM scales?
We install at our purpose-built workshop or via mobile servicing across NSW, VIC and QLD, covering heavy transport, civil and government fleets.
How often does TCA Certified OBM need recalibration?
Annually. We schedule a 12-month calibration reminder as part of our standard service, so your certification stays current.
