Find a public weighbridge

Public weighbridges are open for public use for a charge under the National Measurement Act 1960.
Weighbridges determine the mass of a vehicle, including prime movers and connected trailers. They are used to weigh goods such as farm produce, agricultural products, scrap metal and landscape materials weighing over 3 tonnes.

The mass listed on the measurement ticket can include:
- gross mass, the mass of the vehicle including the load
- tare mass, the mass of the vehicle prior to being loaded
- net mass, the subtraction of the tare mass from the gross mass
