Commonly used in industrial, commercial and domestic waste collection, skip loaders specialise in carrying small to medium sized loads over short distances. Even though the largest skips are modest in size compared to roll-off containers and other bulk haulage examples, the great variation in material they can hold can pose operators problems.
At VPG Onboard Weighing, we understand the importance of real-time overload protection monitoring to give drivers full control of what they are loading onto their trucks - essential when you can never be quite sure what a skip contains. Our on-vehicle weighing solutions guarantee accuracy, reliability and full transparency to keep operators compliant and safe.
The contents of any skip you collect are simply unpredictable - it could be feathers, it could be rocks. A full load of dense, heavy debris could easily push your vehicle over legal weight limits.
Our inclinometer-based overload protection systems assure that your skip loader remains within legal gross vehicle load limits and the manufacturer’s designated safe GVW, measuring the distribution of load axle by axle. For legal-for-trade certification to support from-the-cab invoicing, or just if greater accuracy is required, we also offer load cell-based on-vehicle weighing systems that weigh your vehicle across the payload.
Purpose built for waste and refuse collection vehicles, WasteWeigh systems provide ±0.5% GVW weighing accuracy or better on trucks of 17 tonnes or more. With individual axle weight monitoring, packer plate shutdown and camera support included, this load cell-based solution guarantees precise weight information is available throughout the journey for pay load control and operational efficiency.
TruckWeigh is a fit-and-forget overload protection / payload maximisation solution that delivers precise, reliable weighing data without the need for ongoing recalibration. Lightweight and tough, TruckWeigh features VPG Onboard Weighing’s groundbreaking inclinometer technology and offers weighing accuracy of better than ±2.5% (90-100% GVW). Support for trailer swapping is available as an option.
Clarks has so far installed VPG Onboard Weighing’s VanWeigh system in over 2000 vehicles ranging from small to large panel vans. Operationally, VanWeigh has been a success.
We are currently working with our customer base to help their organisations get more benefits from the digital world. These are exactly the sort of benefits the VanWeigh system offers in an ever more challenging environment.
I have just ordered our fourth VanWeigh system in two years for our growing fleet of VW Crafters. VPG Onboard Weighing fitters are polite, courteous and well trained in their knowledge of the units being fitted. Vehicles are left clean, tidy and ready for work.
The VanWeigh units themselves are worth their weight in gold. There is no fiddling about to add up weight, just load the vehicles and the unit does the rest. Drivers can see straight away if they need to alter their load to spread the weight.
Unlike a lot of other ancillary products we install, with VanWeigh there is no driver interaction required, which for us means minimal operational issues.
Having been trained on the installation, we can install the system within two hours and can calibrate within 30 minutes. We have had zero operational issues in three years.
We have found the experience of working with VPG Onboard Weighing’s VanWeigh system to be very beneficial as the margins are good. The product is reliable and easy to fit, and once fitted needs little or no maintenance.
We have had good feedback from our customers. I would recommend both VanWeigh and VPG Onboard Weighing to anyone wanting to add this service to their portfolio.
Wilcox CV Ltd manufactures tippers for various applications, dealing with major blue chip clients in the UK market. We have installed the BulkWeigh on-board weighing / load optimisation system as an OEM option for over 10 years.
Currently, Wilcox installs over 350 VPG Onboard Weighing systems per year. Bulkweigh systems are part of our standard installation on customer’s trucks, they are easy to install and are very reliable.
We found traditional overload protection systems antiquated in design with displays that were not the easiest to understand. In terms of where they were fitted, we felt the exposed mechanical devices made them weak links operationally.
By contrast, VPG Onboard Weighing’s VanWeigh offers a “fit & forget” solution. It is easy to install and the unexposed underbody sensors withstand the daily conditions that the vans are subjected to on and off road.
I am very pleased with the service we receive from VPG Onboard Weighing. Most SIG vehicles we supply have VPG Onboard Weighing systems installed. We have never had a problem.
Customers are very happy with the VanWeigh system, and see it as a great help in keeping within the law. I am happy to recommend and use VPG Onboard Weighing products.
We have come across many overload protection and load optimisation solutions. We were very impressed with the VPG Onboard Weighing VanWeigh system.
With no moving parts, we find VanWeigh isn’t prone to wear and tear and doesn’t require frequent calibration. We have installed over 500 VanWeigh systems since last year for a large utility company and we have no problems with recommending this product.
I wish to thank VPG Onboard Weighing for its diligence in supporting myself when dealing with requests for new products and ultimately fitting the TruckWeigh system to our fleet of tractor units, LGV rigid and semi- trailers. Your professional approach in dealing with what at times could be a demanding customer is to be commended.

As a body builder that manufactures more than 2300 units a year for a wide range of customer sectors, we would recommend VPG Onboard Weighing’s VanWeigh system every time.
VanWeigh comes with clear, easy to understand fitting instructions which makes it easy to install and calibrate. The system has no moving parts, which means no components to wear or stretch, so no re-calibration is required.
VPG Onboard Weighing’s VanWeigh provides flexibility in production. We can install the system before or after our bodywork assembly or conversion work is fitted to the chassis cab.
Our sales team now offers VanWeigh as a major vehicle enhancement, which gives us an additional profit opportunity. We always get system delivery within two days of our order, which helps with keeping cash flow in check.
We build bodies for utilities companies who seem to have been heavily targeted by the Department of Transport as we have had a massive rise in requests for onboard weighing solutions.
Following successful trials, we are very pleased to confirm that VPG Onboard Weighing is our only preferred supplier. 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 & tear.
As a body builder producing in excess of 2400 bodies a year, VanWeigh provides us with additional profit opportunities. We can install the system to our pre-built stock which helps to sell what is standing in the yard, rather than rely on new builds.
The marketing literature is very comprehensive and easy to understand, helping to make each sale easy when an enquiry lands.
Following successful trials of the VanWeigh system, we are very pleased to confirm that VPG Onboard Weighing is our only preferred supplier.
VanWeigh is easy to understand and requires no driver input. The trials confirmed that the absence of moving parts in the system means no re-calibration is needed once it is installed. In 12 months, we saw no issues at all.
