Saw this Freightliner truck on the highway today, I can only assume it is used to calibrate those roadside weigh bridges? I pity the poor guy who has to load those weights on and off the trailer, though!

Those are used for any weighbridge testing. Public or private.
They take a 2 meter piece of chain around the handles on the weight and then lift then of the truck with a forklift.
We do this twice a year for the Dept of METROLOGY.

The wheels are like trolleys to move the weights around with.
