Mass Management Module

The National Heavy Vehicle Accreditation Scheme Mass Management Module was introduced in South Australia on April 2000; the scheme enables members to operate at higher mass limits on approved routes in South Australia. The purpose of the accreditation is to ensure that vehicles do not exceed allowable mass limits. Under the mass management module, operators are required to develop a management system that measures and records axle and gross weight of their vehicles when they are loaded.

Higher mass limits only apply to vehicles fitted with road friendly suspension, in addition to having road friendly suspensions; operators of vehicles with a tri-axle group must be accredited to the mass module of the National Heavy Vehicle Accreditation Scheme.

Not all States and Territories have introduced this reform at the same time, therefore operators are advised to check with road authorities in other States and Territories before attempting to operate at the higher mass limits outside South Australia.
