Guess the weight loss?

[Andyman]

how's about a weighbridge for containers/trucktrailers ?

At work we sometimes have to weigh the contents of a container filled with Coco (chocolate-stuff) , they subtract the weight of the trailer and container to get the weight of the Coco. I'm thinking this weighbridge has to give correct readings , because this way they check what they're actually paying for ?

Only as good as the guess work as to what the car weigh's prior to weighing so really not much cop in this case

The weigh pads we use at work are accurate to the nearest 10kg. Last time I weighed mine (and it's standard) it came up as 1090kg, but I'm not sure on the fuel in there. I filled it to the brim this morning, so I'll stick it on again now and see what it comes in at.

1120kg
730kg front axle
390kg rear axle

(give or take 10kg)

Where are you based?

I had mine weighed at a local bridge. Counts every 20kgs so not great but it came out at 980kgs with almost a full tank of fuel. 40-50kgs?

Ive taken another 10kgs off since.

I reckon yours will be around 930kgs Mark

Near Maidstone, Kent. I believe the tanks take 50L? If so (at 0.74kg per ltr) it should be 37kg for a full tank.

 

[Jay Payne]

cool, is that a fact about fuel weight? meaning you could brim the tank and take 37kgs off to get the dry weight to save guessing?

It's there or there abouts as far as I can tell from searching on the net.
