Need to check the weight of your vehicle, caravan, trailer or camper? Our public weighbridge provides a quick, accurate way to get the details you need for compliance, performance, and peace of mind. As a certified public weighbridge in Victoria, we offer accredited weight checks for all vehicle types.

We operate a fully certified public weighbridge with straightforward, drive-through access. Our certification number (PW-0247) means the weighbridge is recognised by government authorities for legal use. It’s designed for all types of vehicles, trailers and equipment, just drive on, get your reading, and receive an accredited certificate to take with you. There’s no need to book, just swing by during business hours, drive straight on, and we’ll take care of the rest. Whether you’re verifying weight for compliance or checking before a big trip, we make the process quick and simple.

When weighing your vehicle or trailer, there are several key figures to understand:

The Aggregate Trailer Mass (ATM) is the maximum weight your caravan or trailer can legally be when fully loaded and unhitched. This includes everything on board and resting on its own wheels and jockey wheel. The Gross Trailer Mass (GTM) is the load placed on the wheels while the trailer is hitched. You’ll also want to consider the Tare weight (when empty) and the Tow Ball Load (the weight your tow vehicle supports).

For an accurate reading, make sure your tank’s water, gas, and fuel are filled to your typical travel level, as this can significantly affect your results. If you need help interpreting your weights, our team is here to assist.

Using a weighbridge isn’t just about ticking a box, it plays a vital role in keeping you, your vehicle, and others on the road safe. Knowing your exact weight can help you avoid costly penalties and ensure your setup is performing as it should.

• Road Safety – Overloading your vehicle or trailer can lead to serious handling issues, increased stopping distances, and tyre blowouts. By weighing your load, you can make sure everything is within legal limits and reduce the risk of accidents on the road.
• Insurance Protection – If your vehicle is involved in an accident and is found to be over its weight limit, your insurance provider may deny your claim, even if the incident wasn’t your fault. A weighbridge certificate gives you documented proof that your setup was compliant at the time of weighing.
• Compliance Confidence – Whether you’ve upgraded your suspension, added storage boxes, or modified your trailer, even small changes can impact your weight distribution and legal load capacity. Regular weigh-ins help ensure your vehicle, trailer, or caravan stays within its manufacturer-rated limits.
• Better Performance – If you’re heading to a track day, hauling heavy equipment, or just want to improve your fuel efficiency, knowing your exact weight (and power-to-weight ratio) can make all the difference. It helps you plan, optimise performance, and stay safe under load.

Your weighbridge certificate can be used for registration, deregistration, insurance documentation, engineering sign-off, or even to show proof of compliance if you’re pulled over by transport authorities.

If you’re towing a caravan, campervan or trailer, a public weighbridge is the most reliable way to understand your load and stay compliant with transport regulations. You can weigh axle by axle to get a full picture of how your setup is distributed. This is especially helpful if you’re buying second-hand or have added accessories like solar panels, toolboxes or water tanks. Even new vans should be weighed before heading out; factory specs may differ from your modified reality, including dual-axle trailers, small trucks, and modified vehicles.

Our public weighbridge is located in Kilsyth and is open Monday to Friday, from 8 am to 4 pm. If you have any questions about using the weighbridge or interpreting your certificate, give us a call on 03 9728 3855. We’re happy to help!
