These are a variety of the widespread questions I see asked on the internet. Can I simply go to a weigh station or public weighbridge?

In brief sure. The huge distinction right here is the best way in which the caravan weighing is finished.

Yes, you 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 automotive off the weighbridge to get your caravan ATM (Aggerate Trailer Mass) then reverse back on to the weighbridge and re-hitch the caravan … as long as there might be not a few trucks waiting to get on the scales. And you should get your weights to an accuracy of 20kgs.

After all of that you simply nonetheless won’t know your tow ball weight, axle weights or how the burden is distributed. You might buy tow ball scales but I have seen huge discrepancies with the outcomes proven by these scales. They usually are not height adjustable and it will have an effect on the accuracy of the scales.

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

There’s a giant distinction if you get weighed by Weighpro. For a begin we come to your house (or suitable location) we place scales underneath each wheel, weighing at each wheel and axle weights using the newest certified wi-fi weigh pads and indicator. This allows you to see how the load is distributed throughout the caravan and automobile.

We additionally weigh the tow ball and the result is given in kilograms and as a proportion on the report (too light on the tow ball can lead to trailer sway) … we also weigh to an accuracy of 1kg. We complete a a lot more detailed weigh offering GVM, TBM, GTM, ATM & GCM. Our program/app will then evaluate the actual weights with the producers specs to be positive to are protected and authorized (All results detailed in our simple to read and perceive 3-page report together with explanations on all these complicated acronyms).

We also encourage you to move things round within the van if weigh distribution is not best, 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 would possibly prefer to see the distinction with a weight distribution hitch (WDH) related then disconnected….no issues. We are also not going to hurry or stress you, and will fortunately take the time to explain something you are not certain of.

You will obtain your private 3-page report right there on the spot (no waiting for it to reach by way of e mail for you to print it out yourself in a couple of days). We are still there to explain something you are not sure of.

Knowing your weights isn’t just a security issue but also a legal issue… get it wrong and it could cost you in fines and demerit points, worst still you can be involved in an accident after which find out that your insurance has being declined.

Don’t have a caravan however want 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 delight ourselves on our professionalism, punctuality and friendliness.

Safe travels
