Vehicles / Hook Loaders 

Onboard weighing for hook loaders and roll-off containers.

Real-time overload protection for the large, unpredictable loads hook loaders carry. Protect your license, avoid fines and get the most out of every container you collect.

 
 
 

Big containers, big payloads, big responsibility.

Thanks to their high capacity, large roll-off containers are the preferred choice in construction, agriculture and professional municipal, industrial and commercial waste collection. Hook loaders make moving them easy and efficient. Knowing exactly what each container weighs is what keeps that efficiency safe and legal.

 
Why Hook Loaders Need Overload Protection

Variable container loads make overloading easy.

The contents of a roll-off container can vary enormously, especially when waste and debris are involved. Without reliable, real-time monitoring, container weights can easily exceed legal limits. An overloaded vehicle puts people in danger and can leave your business on the wrong side of the law or your insurance terms.

With a market-leading reputation built over several decades, VPG Onboard Weighing gives hook loader operators accurate overload protection that keeps every load safe, compliant and as profitable as it can be.

Most clients who took part in the trial said VanWeigh and TruckWeigh systems helped them avoid overload endorsements, as well as maximise payload capacity and reduce vehicle wear and tear.
