To cure the overloading problem, I have bought some beam scales (used for pallet weighing), which can take 1.5t each. The control box allows you to add the weights of each axle if you are mathematically challenged. I used the beam scales as they are much cheaper than the alternative which are two load pads, same as the authorities use. It cost just less than £500, but compared with the possible fines, and attendant grief, I think it is worth it. Load pads which are low profile and with on/off ramps and control box are around £1500.

I'd agree but the tempetation to throw on just a few extra rings so you can finish the job that night is often a strong motivator. I bet we've all done it.

 

Generally i'll only go back if i haven't room for the last of the waste.

 

i think this is about right... i've got the "greedy springs" on my iveco 3.5... i almost bought the 6t, but i'm only a short ar** and it's a long way to throw discs all the way up there!! i favour the tarp and a a of brash poking out technique, but i'm sure my day will come:proud:
