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

In quick sure. The big distinction right here is the way in which by which the caravan weighing is completed.

Yes, you can drive onto a weighbridge first and weigh your car 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 car 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 ready to get on the scales. And you need to get your weights to an accuracy of 20kgs.

After all of that you just still won’t know your tow ball weight, axle weights or how the weight is distributed. You might buy tow ball scales however I even have seen huge discrepancies with the outcomes shown by these scales. They are not height adjustable and this will affect the accuracy of the scales.

I had a buyer weigh his combination after being weighed by Weighpro (I was nonetheless there) utilizing tow ball scales and Reich scales he purchased and the end result was some 300kg less than the precise weight (I’m not sure if he did something mistaken or if the scales have been out of calibration).

There’s an enormous distinction whenever you get weighed by Weighpro. For a start we come to your home (or appropriate location) we place scales beneath each wheel, weighing at every wheel and axle weights using the latest licensed wireless weigh pads and indicator. This lets you see how the load is distributed inside the caravan and car.

We additionally weigh the tow ball and the result’s given in kilograms and as a percentage on the report (too gentle on the tow ball can lead to trailer sway) … we additionally weigh to an accuracy of 1kg. We full a much more detailed weigh offering GVM, TBM, GTM, ATM & GCM. Our program/app will then examine the precise weights with the manufacturers specifications to make sure you are secure and authorized (All outcomes detailed in our straightforward to read and understand 3-page report including explanations on all these confusing acronyms).

We additionally encourage you to move issues round throughout the van if weigh distribution just isn’t perfect, to see how one can enhance your stability 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 wish to see the distinction with a weight distribution hitch (WDH) linked then disconnected….no issues. We are additionally not going to hurry or strain you, and can fortunately take the time to explain something you are not positive of.

You will receive your personal 3-page report proper there on the spot (no waiting for it to arrive through e-mail so that you simply can print it out yourself in a number of days). We are still there to elucidate anything you are not positive of.

Knowing your weights is not just a security problem but also a authorized issue… get it mistaken and it could cost you in fines and demerit factors, worst nonetheless you could be involved in an accident and then find out that your insurance has being declined.

Don’t have a caravan however wish to weigh a ship trailer, weigh a trailer or weigh a horse float (with the horses on board) or just car weighing no problems in any respect, you’re going to get the identical level of service.

We satisfaction ourselves on our professionalism, punctuality and friendliness.
