California Certified Public Scale

Use our certified public scale for your truck weighing needs. At Nelson North American, we are proud to be a California Weigh Master with our on-site public scale that is conveniently located in Lake Forest, California, easily accessible from the DMV locations in San Clemente and Laguna Hills. We make it simple and convenient for people in Southern California to weigh their truck loads with our public scale.

Maybe you are military personnel performing a do-it-yourself move and need to weigh your truck to ensure your shipment is not overweight. Or, perhaps you need to weigh your truck to register your new, out-of-state vehicle, required by the DMV. Whatever your needs, utilize our public scale to weigh your vehicles, ensuring you are meeting government requirements and abiding weight maximums for the roads.

To use our public scale, bring $25.00 (cash only) to our location (listed below). We are open Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. - 4 p.m. Trust your California Weigh Master, Nelson North American, for all your truck weighing and public scale needs.
