Public weighbridges are used to weigh vehicles and objects where a specific weight/load is important or to check that vehicles are not overloaded. They are operated by local businesses and are available for use by businesses or the public and are generally sited at premises such as ports, quarries, scrap yards, recycling yards. A small fee is often charged for each weighing carried out. This normally ranges from £5 to £10. The weighing capacity is usually 50,000kg x 20kg.
To operate a public weighbridge, the staff on site will require a certificate of competence issued by the Chief Inspector of Weights & Measures.
