Just built a car trailer.

Plating is a plate which tells you the maximum weight allowed on the trailer and the weight of the trailer itself.

Its usually fitted to the chassis somewhere on the a frame . It will be the same as most other twin axle trailers i would think , not a big job to knock one up, but you might have fun if you get stopped in a roadside check and dont have one

There are loads of laws regarding towing most people dont have a clue about them ignorance is bliss though , i once collected a 3.0l Capri on a twin axle trailer and towed it home with a 1.6 Sierra;):)

If you need to weigh anything, i work at a weighbridge, just give me a shout

I've got keys for 2 weighbridges, ones at Costessey Norwich and the other at Shipdham near Dereham. Hope this is of some help

Thats the one, Waste Recycling Group. I'm usually in the building playing about in loading shovels. But if i'm good they let me outside on the weighbridge. If you want to just check your weight, then when you come up just ask for me

if you require a weight ticket if will cost around
