A vehicle overloading detecting system comprises a frame, a front support, a back support, a steel plate spring and a vehicle axle. A height sensor is arranged between the vehicle axle and the frame and is provided with a casing, a rotation shaft, two photoelectric couplers, a blanking disc, a connecting rod and a pull rod. The blanking disc is located in the casing and fixed on the rotation shaft, light transmitting grooves at different intervals and with different lengths are arranged on the blanking disc, the two photoelectric couplers which form an angle of 180 degrees are fixed on the casing, the blanking disc rotates, a sensor support is fixed on the vehicle axle, the lower end of the pull rod is hinged to the sensor support, the upper end of the pull rod is hinged to one end of the connecting rod, and the other end of the connecting rod is connected onto the rotation shaft. The height sensor used by the vehicle overloading detecting system is designed according to specific vehicle type, and overloading situations of a vehicle can be judged by detecting the distance between the frame and the vehicle axle when the vehicle is still. The vehicle overloading detecting system has the advantages of being simple in structure, convenient to assemble, safe and reliable, durable in use and the like, and can effectively detect overloaded vehicles.
