Because the vehicle should not contain excessive loads because it can endanger the vehicle itself and other road users.
2. Monitoring function
By weighing using a weighing scale, the contents can be known. When weighed not only will the weight of the load be checked but it will also be sought to find out whether the load is from trucks or passing vehicles. Because it could be a vehicle delivering illegal goods. With the supervision, it will be easy to know later.

Another function is as a tool of action. Each charged vehicle will have rules that must be obeyed. If the load on the vehicle exceeds the predetermined limit, it will get sanctions that can be imposed by the violator. Therefore, it is very important to pay attention to every vehicle that is charged not to carry excessive loads.
