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

In brief yes. The big distinction here is the means in which by which the caravan weighing is finished.

Yes, you can drive onto a weighbridge first and weigh your automotive 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 again on to the weighbridge and re-hitch the caravan … as lengthy as there is not a few vehicles ready to get on the scales. And you must get your weights to an accuracy of 20kgs.

After all of that you just nonetheless won’t know your tow ball weight, axle weights or how the weight is distributed. You could buy tow ball scales however I have seen big discrepancies with the results proven by these scales. They usually are not height adjustable and this can affect 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 bought and the end result was some 300kg less than the actual weight (I’m unsure if he did one thing wrong or if the scales had been out of calibration).

There’s a big distinction whenever you get weighed by Weighpro. For a start we come to your house (or suitable location) we place scales under every wheel, weighing at each wheel and axle weights utilizing the most recent licensed wireless weigh pads and indicator. This allows you to see how the load is distributed inside the caravan and automotive.

We additionally weigh the tow ball and the result’s given in kilograms and as a share on the report (too gentle on the tow ball may end up in trailer sway) … we additionally weigh to an accuracy of 1kg. We complete 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 ensure you are protected and legal (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 maneuver things around within the van if weigh distribution is not ideal, to see how one can improve your stability and tow ball weight of your caravan.

You can weigh with empty or full water tanks, add the bikes or kayaks whatever you need. You may prefer to see the distinction with a weight distribution hitch (WDH) linked then disconnected….no issues. We are additionally not going to hurry or stress you, and will happily take the time to clarify something you are not sure 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 your self in a couple of days). We are nonetheless there to elucidate something you aren’t positive of.

Knowing your weights isn’t just a security issue but also a legal issue… get it incorrect and it might value you in fines and demerit factors, worst nonetheless you can be concerned in an accident after which find out that your insurance has being declined.

Don’t have a caravan however want to weigh a boat 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 degree of service.
