A weighbridge gives drivers the assurance that the vehicle they are driving is fully compliant and fit for the purpose for which it is being used. Additionally, avoiding vehicle overload promotes the safety of other road users and minimizes damage to road surfaces, overpasses, and bridges.

Why do you need a weighbridge?

A weighbridge is a must in shipping and transportation to ensure safety and compliance, improve traffic flow and increase efficiency and productivity. Overloaded vehicles pose a significant safety risk, and fines issued for incorrect loading can be severe.

How accurate is a weighbridge?

The accuracy limit for gross or train weights of a multi-plate weighbridge is +/- 50kg multiplied by the number of plates used for the weighing. Where an axle or group of axles is weighed on the same plate the accuracy limit is +/- 100kg.
