WELCOME TO SMARTWEIGH

UK manufacturer of on-board overload protection.

SmartWeigh is a UK manufacturer of on-board vehicle overload protection systems, helping fleet operators stay inside their legal weight limits and avoid the cost, downtime and risk of running overloaded. Designed and built for a wide range of commercial and industrial vehicles, our systems put a real, accurate weight in the cab before the vehicle leaves the yard.

Every SmartWeigh overload protection system is designed, assembled and manufactured in the United Kingdom, with the build quality, reliability and durability that comes from doing it ourselves.

OUR HERITAGE

Backed by over 50 years of engineering.

SmartWeigh is part of the Bowmonk and Tapley Group, a long-established British manufacturer in the automotive testing industry. The Group is known worldwide for its Bowmonk and Tapley brake testers, which have set the standard for portable brake testing across MOT stations, government agencies and commercial operators.

Building on that legacy of UK design and manufacturing, SmartWeigh brings the same trusted in-house engineering to the on-board overload protection market, combining proven expertise with forward-thinking design.

ENGINEERED FOR THE REAL WORLD

Built around what operators actually need.

Before launching SmartWeigh, we carried out detailed research into what operators truly needed from an on-board overload protection system. The top priority was clear: simplicity and resilience.

As the manufacturer, we engineer our systems to be straightforward to install, with many customers choosing to complete installation themselves without specialist support. We also offer a nationwide professional fitting service for those who prefer it, but the standout feature remains the ease of self-installation.

Durability was the other core focus. Every sensor we build is designed to perform reliably in harsh environments and on demanding terrain, so SmartWeigh overload protection stands up to the pressures of everyday fleet use.

A TRUSTED PARTNER

More than equipment. A long-term partnership.

At SmartWeigh, we do more than supply equipment. As the manufacturer of every overload protection system we sell, we offer a trusted, long-term partnership built on decades of British engineering know-how and direct, in-house support. Our team works closely with fleet operators to specify the right system for the vehicles you actually run.

SmartWeigh gives you the tools to load accurately, operate confidently, and stay inside the law, now and into the future.
