Weighbridges

[glennmreid]

Anyone know a weighbridge that I can take my boat to weigh? At the moment it is on an unbraked trailer, but I am concerned that when fully loaded it weighs over the maximum permitted of 750kg for an unbraked trailer. I live in western sydney.

I'm not sure whether you can fit brakes, or it might be more economical to sell the current trailer, and buy a new one with brakes.

There's a place near plumton [in the industrial area] that will weigh it for around $10-20.

could be the place stewie was referring to. Been a while since l last used it so can't remember the exact address but let me know if still interested and i'll get details for you.

Yeah, that's the place. Do they still have them?

As far as I know they are still there.

Go to your local weightwatcher meetings - they are set up for big rigs

You can drive in and out of your local "waste recycling transfer station "if you are just after an idea and you know the weight of the tow vehicle of just un hitch and go through again.

We have used the Standards weighbridge at alexandria and Auburn before and called ahead to book and ensure someone was on site as they are automated for regular users.

I'd unhitch the boat on the outside as someone might just claim it on the inside

Hi Glenn, Your closest W/bridge is at Blacktown Tip on Richmond Rd, Marsden Park, you do not have to unhook trailer to get your weight for boat & trailer just drive the car off bridge & stop with your drive wheels just off the bridge. The girls there will give you the weight or you can look at the screen above your head & read the weight

There's a public weigh bridge on the Hume Highway at Lansvale also, its in front of the caravan shop
