Weigh Bridge in the North of England?
 
Hi,
My 110 has been on a diet, but not lot much weight I think. I want to get its fully laden weight, but can't find a weigh bridge anywhere - I think the trucks have scales built-in nowadays. My mates 2.5T ramp didn't cope easily with the 110 when empty.

Does anyone know where there's a weigh bridge in the North East, around Newcastle, Durham, etc.?

Cheers,
Nick.

Nick,

Every pubic waste disposal depo should have a weigh bridge. They can tell you the weight for free, or give a printout for a fiver. At least that's how it works at the depo near me.

Thanks Roman,
I know the local dump doesn't have one, but I'll call some of the others nearby - I didn't think of that.

Cheers,
Nick.

I just spoke to the very helpful people at Durham County Council (http://www.durham.gov.uk/) and there is one just off the A19 at the A181 Junction (Wingate turnoff) - the "Wellfield Weighbridge".

Head east on the A181 and it's on the north side of the road.

Don't know the opening hours etc. As I've not been year. Hope my 110 doesn't need more of a diet. How many carbs are in Aluminium anyway... http://www.horizonsunlimited.com/ubb/smile.gif
