What’s in my report?
We provide a comprehensive weights report, covering 9 key metrics for safety and compliance with relevant authorities. Weighbridge tickets can be provided for use with Road and Traffic Authorities and VASS Engineers. All weights are accurate to the kilogram, using state-of-the-art digital equipment. In addition to the compliance metrics, we cover issues such as weight distribution and also general travel safety advice.
