Industrial Truck Volumetric Scanner System for WLS-XS, WLS-1, and WLS-2 model selection, in-motion load volume measurement, graphical load imagery, truck identification, Payload Pro reporting, and NTEP Certified WLS-2 applications.
The Industrial Truck Volumetric Scanner System helps construction, aggregate, agriculture, waste, recycling, and bulk material operations measure open-top truck loads in motion. The WLS family includes three industrial models, so Walz can match the scanner package to your traffic pattern, fleet profile, speed requirement, mounting plan, identification needs, reporting workflow, and whether the application requires the WLS-2 NTEP Certified Legal-for-Trade pathway.
Each WLS model is built around the same core workflow: scan trucks dynamically, capture carried volume, produce graphical load imagery, generate tickets or production records, and make the data available through local reporting, mobile tools, and Payload Pro cloud visibility.
WLS Industrial Scanner Model Matrix
Use the model matrix to match scanner capability to fleet familiarity, throughput, reporting needs, and certification requirements.
| Model | Best Fit | Scanning Profile | Legal Status | Ideal Use Case |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| WLS-XS Entry Level | Owned or known fleets that want a practical way to start scanning truck loads. | Volume measurement and reporting for controlled traffic workflows. | Non-NTEP | Budget-conscious scanner projects, known vehicle profiles, and simpler site requirements. |
| WLS-1 Standard | Industrial truck operations that want a more complete production scanner package. | In-motion volume capture, truck profiles, records, and reporting for daily production use. | Non-NTEP | Construction, aggregate, agriculture, landscape material, waste, and recycling yards. |
| WLS-2 NTEP Certified | Sites that need the WLS family Legal-for-Trade pathway or the most advanced industrial package. | High-speed scanner platform with NTEP approved scanning range and expanded project options. | WLS-2 only | Certified measurement, high-throughput yards, and applications where scanner records carry commercial weight. |
Truck load scanning is not only a sensor decision. It touches traffic flow, dispatch, ticketing, material records, truck identification, production reporting, and the level of proof the operation needs. The right WLS package should fit the lane first, then support the people who rely on the data after every truck passes through.
Field Workflow
Industrial WLS deployments are usually won or lost in the lane. Trucks need clear approach guidance, the scanner needs the correct mounting height and traffic control, and the data needs to land where production, dispatch, and management teams can use it.
Project Fit
A WLS project starts with the truck lane: who owns the trucks, how consistent the vehicle profiles are, how fast the site needs to move traffic, and what level of reporting or certification the records need to support. Walz uses those inputs to recommend the scanner model and system package that best fits the operation.
Configured System
Fixed pole, pole with scanner hardware installed, trailer-mounted, and semi-portable mounting packages all change the project scope. The quote should start with how the lane will actually be used.
RFID readers, truck tags, HD camera images, remote displays, printers, and stop-go lights help translate the scanner package into a working site process.
Load Volume Data
Use scanner events to capture carried volume, keep records moving, and reduce the friction of manual pile or truck-bed estimates.
Configured System
Walz can scope the scanner around your lane geometry, traffic control, truck identification, ticketing, reporting, and speed requirements.
