Weigh Stations

Browse 212 public weighbridges across all 8 Australian states and territories. Whether you are towing a caravan, driving a truck, or hauling a trailer, knowing your vehicle's weight is essential for staying within legal limits and ensuring safe travel. Overloaded vehicles put extra stress on brakes, tyres, and suspension, increasing the risk of accidents and costly mechanical damage. If you are involved in an incident while exceeding your vehicle's rated weight, your insurance may not cover the claim, and you could face personal legal liability for any damage or injuries caused. Fines for overweight vehicles vary by state but can run into thousands of dollars, and repeat offenders risk having their vehicle defected or registration cancelled. 24 stations operate around the clock, and 24 are fully automated, so there is no reason not to check before you hit the road. Use the filters below to find stations near your route by state, type, and facilities.
