These are some of the common questions I see requested on the web. Can I just go to a weigh station or public weighbridge?

In brief yes. The big distinction right here is the way by which the caravan weighing is finished.

Yes, you possibly can drive onto a weighbridge first and weigh your automobile in 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 automobile 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 may be not a few vehicles waiting to get on the scales. And you should get your weights to an accuracy of 20kgs.

After all of that you simply still won’t know your tow ball weight, axle weights or how the load is distributed. You may buy tow ball scales but I truly have seen huge discrepancies with the outcomes shown by these scales. They aren’t peak adjustable and it will affect the accuracy of the scales.

I had a customer weigh his combination after being weighed by Weighpro (I was still there) utilizing tow ball scales and Reich scales he bought and the result was some 300kg lower than the precise weight (I’m undecided if he did one thing wrong or if the scales were out of calibration).

There’s a big difference whenever you get weighed by Weighpro. For a begin we come to your personal home (or appropriate location) we place scales beneath every wheel, weighing at every wheel and axle weights utilizing the newest licensed wireless weigh pads and indicator. This lets you see how the load is distributed within the caravan and automobile.

We additionally weigh the tow ball and the result’s given in kilograms and as a share on the report (too mild on the tow ball can lead to trailer sway) … we additionally weigh to an accuracy of 1kg. We full a a lot more detailed weigh offering GVM, TBM, GTM, ATM & GCM. Our program/app will then evaluate the precise weights with the manufacturers specifications to be certain to are protected and authorized (All outcomes detailed in our straightforward to read and perceive 3-page report together with explanations on all those confusing acronyms).

We also encourage you to move things around within the van if weigh distribution just isn’t ideal, to see how one can enhance your balance and tow ball weight of your caravan.

You can weigh with empty or full water tanks, add the bikes or kayaks no matter you need. You might like to see the difference with a weight distribution hitch (WDH) related then disconnected….no issues. We are also not going to hurry or pressure you, and can fortunately take the time to elucidate anything you aren’t positive of.

You will obtain your private 3-page report proper there on the spot (no ready for it to arrive by way of email for you to print it out your self in a few days). We are nonetheless there to elucidate anything you aren’t sure of.

Knowing your weights is not only a safety problem but in addition a legal issue… get it wrong and it may price you in fines and demerit factors, worst still you can be concerned in an accident after which discover out that your insurance coverage has being declined.

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

We satisfaction ourselves on our professionalism, punctuality and friendliness.

Safe travels
