Red Forge - Axle Weighing Systems

Axle Weighing Systems

Every vehicle on the road from cars to Articulated Trucks have what is known as a plated weight.It is illegal to exceed this plated weight. The Vehicle & Operator Services Agency (DVSA) and the police have powers to stop, weigh and restrict any vehicle on a UK road. This means that an operator who is running their truck illegally could find themselves on the receiving end of a stiff penalty, in addition to the inconvenience of not being able to continue their journey. 

 If you run a fleet of vehicles, it is likely you have an 'O' Licence & as part of this licence, you agreed to meet a number of conditions to do with the safe running of your fleet. One of these was "Vehicle and Trailers are not overloaded". In addition to this, an 'O' Licence holder has an obligation to notify the Traffic Commissioner of any convictions which are not spent - and this includes fines and prohibitions for overloading. This will hard your OCRS (Operator Compliance Risk Score), often known as the DVSA traffic light system.

 Help stay safe & legal with one of our Truck & Van Axle weighing systems.
