Abstract: Described herein is a hydraulic suspension system mounted on a vehicle, including a plurality of hydraulic suspension units having a section of the vehicle corresponding thereto, and a hydraulic power device in communication with the plurality of hydraulic suspension units for providing a hydraulic fluid under pressure to actuate the plurality of hydraulic suspension units. The hydraulic suspension system mounted on a vehicle further includes a plurality of hydraulic valve assemblies associated with each of the plurality of hydraulic suspension units, wherein the plurality of hydraulic valve assemblies are in fluid communication between the plurality of hydraulic suspension units and the hydraulic power device, and a control device for controlling each of the hydraulic valve assemblies associated with each of the plurality of hydraulic suspension units.

Abstract: Described herein is a method for measuring a weight and location of a payload in a carrying means coupled to a vehicle. The method including sensing the weight of the payload with at least one sensor, sensing the location of the payload with the at least one sensor, generating a location of the payload with respect to one or more axles rotatably supporting the carrying means, determining whether the weight of the payload is below a maximum weight threshold, determining whether the location of the payload is below a maximum distribution threshold with respect to the one or more axles, and presenting results to a user.
