Public Weighbridges

[swisstoni]

Anyone with experience of these locally? Can you just roll up and say "weigh this please?" or what?
I need to get the weight of my un-plated car trailer so that I can make sure I'm not towing too much for my tow vehicle.

Most scrapyards will do it for you, maybe charge you a couple of quid though. We have had rally cars here in the past getting weighed. Breaks the day up from looking at the usual crap.

We have a public weighbridge.

Good for a rough estimate but way too inaccurate. +/- 0.1% for racecar scales for example.

Looks as if there's one at the Smallmead Recycling depot http://www.re3.org.uk/trade_page.asp?id=1
Also A1 Motorspares in Bearwood, just behind Wokingham have one.
HTH.
Cheers, Pewe.
