Floor Scales
Found a place that sells a "kit" for building your own floor scale. My kit can handle 20K. The kit has all the guts you need, I need to provide my own platform. They recommend 3/4 or 1" aluminum. ...

Actually a CAT scale can give you a pretty close corner weight, but it will cost you double the price.
First weight on two rear platforms, yeah rough to reach the microphone button :B Call it 32K lbs total 20 rear and 12 front.
Now start a new ticket with the DS off the same two platforms. Note weights.
Now do the reweigh with the PS off the platforms. Note weights.
If these two last weights are close to your first total weight on the axles I believe your close to corner weights.
Disclaimer..... Most CAT scales are fairly level for platform vs roadway. If not YMMV
We had a guy report a 900 lb difference on the front axle at the Freightliner plant in NC. Duh I would want to air up to that amount, not half of it.
Yeah I hear you but some you can do it from the 2 rear platforms and NOT the steer axle platform. State of Washington leave their un-maned scales on and they are really flat for getting wheel weights. Price is better also :W
