Vehicle Scales

A vehicle scale (also called a truck scale or weighbridge) is designed to measure the total weight of a vehicle. Load cells under the platform sense the force from the vehicle and the indicator converts this into a weight reading. Depending on the model, weighing can be done with the vehicle stationary or moving slowly across the scale.

We offer portable vehicle weigh pads, axle weighing systems and permanent weighbridges. Portable systems are ideal for mobile or temporary use, while fixed weighbridges are best for high-volume, permanent installations.

Vehicle scales are used to prevent overloading, meet legal requirements, manage load distribution, monitor stock in and out and optimise payloads. They are widely used in logistics, waste and recycling, agriculture, construction and general transport.

The right choice depends on your vehicle types, maximum weights, how often you will weigh, whether you need trade-approved weighing and whether you need a portable or permanent solution. Tell us about your application and we can recommend the most suitable system.

Portable weigh pads offer very good accuracy when used on a flat, stable surface and are ideal for checking axle loads. A fixed weighbridge normally provides the highest level of long-term stability and is usually preferred where trade-approved weighing is required.

Portable systems typically only require a solid, level surface such as concrete or tarmac. Permanent weighbridges may need a concrete foundation, drainage, safe vehicle access and a power supply. We can advise on site preparation or arrange full installation if needed.

Many users choose annual calibration, but high-usage or legally controlled operations may need more frequent checks. Regular calibration keeps your system accurate, compliant and reduces the risk of costly errors or fines.

Yes. Certain models can be supplied as approved for legal-for-trade use. If you need to use weights for selling goods, invoicing or enforcement, let us know and we will recommend an appropriate approved system.

Our systems can weigh vans, rigid trucks, articulated lorries, trailers, agricultural machinery and plant vehicles. We match the capacity and platform size to your vehicle fleet.

Yes. We provide calibration, servicing, repairs, spare parts and technical support to keep your vehicle scales operating reliably and within tolerance over their lifetime.
