Certified truck scale in Elmshorn

Weigh vehicles up to 60 tonnes – trucks, cars, motorhomes, trailers, vans. No appointment needed.

Weighed quickly, right on the A23

On our premises in Elmshorn there is a certified (legally verified) vehicle scale that we also make available to third parties: whether you want to know before your holiday trip whether your motorhome is within its permitted gross weight, whether your trailer is loaded correctly or whether your truck complies with the axle load – simply drop by.

You receive a weighing ticket with the measured weight straight away – because the scale is legally verified, it is also accepted by authorities, customers and insurers. Weighing with and without load (first and second weighing) is possible if you need the net weight of a load.
