a Kent company and its driver £1,650 in fines and costs.
Erith-based Gunns International Transport and Shipping and driver Nigel Cage, of Dartford, both denied the charge but were found guilty.
Traffic examiner Philip Williams told Barking magistrates that a three-axled rigid carrying scaffolding tubes was found to be overloaded.
The front axle limit of 7,100kg was exceeded by 920kg, some 13%. Company director Stanley Gunn and Cage both told the court they did not know why the vehicle was overloaded.
Anthony Ostrin, prosecuting for VOSA, maintained that the vehicle was weighed by a traffic examiner on a tri-plate weighbridge which was operated correctly.
The company was fined £900 for the axle overload with £400 prosecution costs; Cage was fined £250 with £350 costs.
