The service is $340 for a vehicle trailer combination. If it's a single vehicle like a motorhome it's $200.

This includes the full weigh in, and the report which details the findings. After you receive the report we encourage you to discuss immediately, or contact us at any stage to discuss the details found in the report. 

Ensuring your vehicle and caravan/trailer are properly weighed is an important step in traveling with confidence. By understanding how weight limits work, you can reduce the risk of handling difficulties, minimise wear and tear, and lower the chances of accidents on the road.

Although we don’t provide legal or insurance advice, it’s important to be aware of the potential consequences of exceeding recommended weight limits:

• Possible Insurance Implications: Some insurance policies include clauses about staying within specified weight limits. If you’re found to be overloaded during an incident, your insurer may decline your claim, leading to significant out-of-pocket costs. Always check your policy or speak directly with your provider.
• Adhering to Regulations: Different regions have rules governing vehicle and trailer weights. Going beyond these limits can lead to fines, demerit points, or other penalties. Consult your local transport authority for specific requirements.
• Accident Liability Considerations: In an accident, being overloaded can influence how liability is assessed. Depending on the circumstances, this might lead to higher liability or legal proceedings. If you have questions, it’s best to seek professional legal guidance.

By weighing your vehicle and caravan/trailer, you gain the insight needed to make informed decisions and avoid potential complications. Prioritising weight checks as part of your travel preparation supports a smoother, more relaxed journey for everyone on the road.

Prepare your vehicle and caravan/trailer as if you were heading out on a trip. This includes loading up your usual travel items, ensuring your water tanks are at your normal levels, and having your fuel tank filled to a typical amount. Make sure you pack everything you normally would, down to that slab of diet coke.
