These are a few of the frequent questions I see asked on the web. Can I just go to a weigh station or public weighbridge?

In quick sure. The huge difference here is the greatest way by which the caravan weighing is finished.

Yes, you can drive onto a weighbridge first and weigh your automotive on your GVM (Gross Vehicle Mass) than drive on with the caravan and get your GCM (Gross Combination Mass), then unhitch the caravan and drive your automotive off the weighbridge to get your caravan ATM (Aggerate Trailer Mass) then reverse again on to the weighbridge and re-hitch the caravan … so lengthy as there is not a couple of vans ready to get on the scales. And you must get your weights to an accuracy of 20kgs.

After all of that you nonetheless won’t know your tow ball weight, axle weights or how the load is distributed. You might buy tow ball scales but I actually have seen big discrepancies with the results shown by these scales. They usually are not height adjustable and this can have an effect on the accuracy of the scales.

I had a customer weigh his mixture after being weighed by Weighpro (I was nonetheless there) using tow ball scales and Reich scales he bought and the end result was some 300kg less than the actual weight (I’m undecided if he did something wrong or if the scales have been out of calibration).

There’s a big distinction when you get weighed by Weighpro. For a begin we come to your home (or appropriate location) we place scales under each wheel, weighing at each wheel and axle weights using the most recent licensed wi-fi weigh pads and indicator. This permits you to see how the load is distributed throughout the caravan and automobile.

We also weigh the tow ball and the result is given in kilograms and as a percentage on the report (too gentle on the tow ball may end up in trailer sway) … we also weigh to an accuracy of 1kg. We full a much more detailed weigh offering GVM, TBM, GTM, ATM & GCM. Our program/app will then evaluate the actual weights with the manufacturers specs to ensure you are protected and authorized (All results detailed in our simple to learn and understand 3-page report including explanations on all those confusing acronyms).

We additionally encourage you to maneuver issues round within the van if weigh distribution just isn’t best, to see how you can enhance your steadiness and tow ball weight of your caravan.

You can weigh with empty or full water tanks, add the bikes or kayaks no matter you want. You might like to see the difference with a weight distribution hitch (WDH) connected then disconnected….no issues. We are additionally not going to rush or strain you, and will happily take the time to elucidate anything you are not sure of.

You will receive your personal 3-page report right there on the spot (no ready for it to arrive through e-mail so that you can print it out yourself in a few days). We are nonetheless there to explain anything you aren’t positive of.

Knowing your weights isn’t just a security issue but in addition a authorized issue… get it wrong and it could price you in fines and demerit points, worst still you could be concerned in an accident after which find out that your insurance coverage has being declined.

Don’t have a caravan but need to weigh a ship trailer, weigh a trailer or weigh a horse float (with the horses on board) or just vehicle weighing no issues at all, you’re going to get the same stage of service.

We satisfaction ourselves on our professionalism, punctuality and friendliness.

Safe travels
