Trailer Weighing Guide | GoWeigh Public Weighbridges

HOW TO WEIGH

GoWeigh can be used for a range of trailers including boat and general-purpose trailers. To get a trailer weigh, you must disconnect the trailer from your vehicle and setup as per the diagram. For safety reasons, we ask that you leave your vehicle on the weighbridge.

The weighbridge will provide separate weighing results for each platform. Unfortunately, at this stage, we cannot allow customers to enter a VIN number onto the weighing docket.
