OVERLOAD PROTECTION SYSTEMS
Load to the limit. Not over it.
On-board overload protection is designed, built and fitted in the UK. We supply systems for cage tippers, vans, rigid lorries and 44 tonne vehicles, each one calibrated on the vehicle it’s fitted to. The system is an indicator that helps you load within your limits before you leave the yard. It is not legal for trade, so it can’t be used to sell goods by weight or as evidence of a vehicle’s weight.

The vehicles we fit.
One system, set up for four weight classes. Tell us what you run and we will confirm the right setup for your vehicle and the loads it carries.
All our overload protection system are not legal for trade.
Cage tippers
A tipper body, cage and tail-lift can leave a 3.5 tonne chassis with very little payload. Green waste, soil and scrap look light and weigh heavy, so these are the easiest vehicles to overload without knowing. The driver sees exactly where they stand before pulling off site. All our systems achieve an accuracy of 2.5%+/- between 90-100% of GVW.
- Landscapers
- Tree surgeons
- Builders
- Waste clearance
Vans and light trucks
Multi-drop work changes the load on each axle throughout the day. Gross weight can drop while one axle ends up over its limit after a few deliveries come off the back. The system tracks both axles and the gross weight on every drop. All our systems achieve an accuracy of 2.5%+/- between 90-100% of GVW.
- Parcel and courier
- Trades
- Catering
- Mobile workshops
Rigid vehicles
From 7.5 tonne box vans up to eight-wheel tippers. At this weight you are running under an O-licence, and an overload at a roadside check follows the operator as well as the driver. Fitted as standard on a new build or retrofitted to vehicles already in the fleet. All our systems achieve an accuracy of 2.5%+/- between 90-100% of GVW.
- Tippers
- Skip and hook loaders
- Dropsides
- Curtainsiders
Articulated and drawbar
Tractor units and trailers running at the top of the GB weight limit, where there is no spare margin on drive or trailer axles. Bulk and loose loads settle and shift in transit, so knowing the axle split before the trailer leaves the yard is what keeps you legal. All our systems achieve an accuracy of 2.5%+/- between 90-100% of GVW.
- Bulk haulage
- Aggregates
- Agricultural haulage
- General haulage
Not sure which class you fall into? Check the plated gross weight on the VIN plate, or just give us the make and model and we will work it out.
