Vehicle Payloads
You can use a public weighbridge to check that your vehicle is the correct weight. This is particularly useful if you are carrying an extra load or hiring a vehicle to move large items. An overladen vehicle is dangerous and illegal.
If you hire a vehicle, for example for furniture removal, you are responsible for making sure it is within the correct weight limit. If you have a large or heavy load you should consider getting your vehicle weighed.
For a list of Somerset weighbridges see: Somerset Council Gateway
For a list of Dorset weighbridges see: Dorset Councils Online | Dorset For You
The charges and opening hours of the weighbridges vary from site to site. We recommend that you contact them to check before making a special journey.
