UKAS Weigh Pad Hire

The UK’s First UKAS-Calibrated Weigh Pad Hire Service

MWS offers a unique weigh pad hire service, providing access to professionally maintained, UKAS-calibrated vehicle weigh pads without the capital commitment of outright purchase. As the first provider of its kind in the UK, every pad in our hire fleet is owned and maintained by MWS and calibrated under our own UKAS ISO 17025 accreditation, aligned to the DVSA Consolidated Code of Practice.

Our Hire Fleet

Our hire weigh pads are manufactured by Dini Argeo in Italy, widely regarded as among the finest vehicle weigh pads available. Each pad has been calibrated by MWS under our UKAS-accredited process, which includes linearity, eccentricity and repeatability testing, uncertainty calculation, and consideration of tilt and gradient effects. This means you receive equipment that meets both compliance and enforcement expectations from the moment it arrives on site.

Why Hire from MWS?

• UKAS-Accredited Calibration Included. Every pad in our fleet is calibrated under MWS’s own UKAS ISO 17025 accreditation. Our scope is the first in the UK to explicitly reference calibration to the DVSA Consolidated Code of Practice for weigh pads, so you can be confident the equipment you receive will stand up to audit and enforcement scrutiny.

• No Third-Party Equipment. Unlike conventional hire arrangements, we hire out our own weigh pads. There is no reliance on third-party stock, and every pad is maintained and calibrated to our own exacting standards before leaving our facility.
• Regulatory Confidence. Our calibration methodology follows NAWI-style principles applied to force-based measurement, producing results that are robust, repeatable and defensible. Operators working to VCA requirements or subject to DVSA oversight can hire with confidence.
• Flexible Access to Premium Equipment. Dini Argeo weigh pads represent the benchmark for vehicle weighing accuracy. Hiring gives you access to market-leading equipment on a flexible basis, whether for a short-term project, a regulatory deadline, or ongoing operational requirements.
• Expert Support from a Specialist Team. MWS is an independent UK specialist in industrial weighing and calibration. Our technical team understands the regulatory landscape, and we are on hand to advise on compliance, correct use, and applicable standards throughout your hire period.
