Know what to ask for at a public weighbridge, then turn the tickets into a compliance verdict for your rig — GVM, ATM, GTM, GCM and towball weight against your limits.
Prefilled from your picks — check them against your compliance plates. Plates win, especially after a GVM or ATM upgrade.
Enter whichever tickets you have — every field is optional. Short on time? Passes ②, ③ and ④ unlock every check.
Drive the whole rig onto the deck and stop. Ask for the total weight.
Roll forward until only the vehicle's wheels are on the deck — van wheels off, still hitched. Your laden vehicle weight, ball weight included.
Keep rolling until only the van's wheels are on the deck. The load the van's axles carry.
Unhitch clear of the queue with the van fully on the deck, jockey wheel included. Your van's total weight.
Weigh the vehicle on its own. Against pass ② this reveals your true towball weight.
All available checks pass. Not checked: ATM (trailer total), GTM (axle load), Towball vs vehicle max, Towball share of van weight, GVM (vehicle laden), GCM (combined), Towing capacity.
Weighbridge readings beat any estimate — but a ticket reflects how the rig was loaded on the day, and public bridges typically read to the nearest 10–20 kg. Re-weigh after any big change in load, and always stay under the limits on your compliance plates.
