At Your Mobile Weighbridge, we provide accurate, on-site vehicle weighing across Adelaide and surrounding suburbs, from Gawler to Aldinga. Whether you’ve just bought a new caravan, upgraded your 4WD, or want peace of mind before your next trip, we bring professional weighbridge services to you.
We’re the only mobile weighbridge in South Australia using Haenni scales — the same technology trusted by police and law enforcement agencies across the country. We weigh everything from:
- Caravans & Campers
- 4WDs & Towing Setups
- Trailers & Boats
- Motorhomes
- Trucks & Trade Vehicles
If you exceed your GVM, ATM or GCM limits, you’re at risk of voiding insurance, copping fines, or worse — causing serious damage. We help you stay compliant with a detailed printout, clear guidance, and actionable advice. No stress. No guesswork.
Why do you need to weigh your vehicle?
As the driver of your vehicle, you are solely responsible for ensuring it is not overloaded. Recent reports show 70% are. You need to know that your rig complies with all the regulations – to hide in the shadows is not a wise choice.
4wding Australia writes – The information you need is all right at your fingertips. The compliance plates on your car and trailer are not there for decoration or, as one person tried to tell me one day, a guide. They detail the limits of what the manufacturer has determined are safe for that vehicle. Put simply, GVM is the maximum your tow vehicle can weigh. ATM is the maximum your trailer can weigh. GCM is the maximum the combined rig can weigh.
FAQ’s
Frequently Asked Questions
Is there a difference between your service compared to others?
Yes, we are the only ones using the same Haenni scales as used by the Road Authorities in Australia and in most of the world – and these scales cost about six times as much as what most mobile operators are using. And we think you will find that the advice and overall knowledge imparted during the weighing – to be arguably second to none.
Do I really need to weigh my caravan or tow vehicle?
Yes — even if your setup feels “fine,” The weak point in many vehicles is their rear axle weight tolerance and is an unknown entity to most drivers and you must comply to all requirements – not just the ones more easily recognized. Over 70% of setups are overweight.
So, my saying remains true – if you don’t know then you don’t know – and once you do, then you do.
Can you come to my home or caravan storage facility?
Absolutely. We’re fully mobile and regularly visit homes, driveways, caravan parks, storage yards and even workplaces across Adelaide and surrounding suburbs.
How long does a weigh-in take?
Most appointments are concluded within the hour. This includes weighing your vehicle, reviewing your compliance, and discussing your results with clear, personalised advice. The comprehensive report and safety check printout is discussed so all is clearly understood.
What happens if I'm overweight?
We’ll explain exactly which part of your setup is over and offer practical solutions — from load redistribution to setup changes. You’ll get a printed report to help guide your next steps.
On occasion, the recommendation needs to include the changing/ upgrading of the vehicle or trailer and this is covered very comprehensively.
Do I need to prep my vehicle before the weigh-in?
I normally suggest you fill the van water tanks and the vehicle fuel and do the best you can with the rest – it is not necessary to present your rig as if you were going on a long trip – what we want to hopefully see is the margin between how you present it to the maximums allowed —and then we advise accordingly. If you wish you can add one or two 20lt water containers to make up for the food or clothing that you have not loaded at the time of weighing.
Can you weigh large trucks or motorhomes?
Yes. Our Haenni scales handle up to 10 tonnes per wheel, which means we can accurately weigh everything from semi-trailers to heavy motorhomes.The largest truck we have weighed consisted of nineteen axles and many tiny houses and river house boats have been weighed successfully.
Will this help with insurance or registration?
Yes — a weigh-in helps you prove compliance and avoid the risk of insurance claim denials. It’s also helpful for new registrations, setup changes, or modifications.
