Weigh bridge: correct procedure (1 Viewer)

[Ridgeway]

Can anyone tell me what I need to weigh and what to do with the numbers ?

I assume front axle, rear axle and then whole van on bridge to generate 3 results ? or is it only the first 2 required ?

Also how far should the van be on the bridge whilst the non weighed axle remains off ?

We have a new weigh bridge in our village and I think for a bottle of wine I can get Mr Suisse weigh bridge fella to allow me on it.....

If the approach to the weighbridge is flat and he is not charging per weigh then all three to check, if paying per weigh then one axle and a total weight will suffice.

The important thing with weighing axles on plate weighbridges is for the vehicle to be level, try and get the axle onto the plate as far as possible.

Subtract one axle weight from the total will give you the other axle weight, there will more than likely be a small discrepancy between the sum of the 2 axle weights and the total weight if you do the 3 weighings, maybe 10/20 kilos.

Yes it's very flat and there's plenty of space around as it's for weighing HGV's and farm vehicles. The going rate seems to be a bottle per visit so I'll aim for all 3 weights.
