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

In quick sure. The big distinction here is the means in which during which the caravan weighing is finished.

Yes, you can drive onto a weighbridge first and weigh your car for 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 long as there could be not a couple of vehicles waiting to get on the scales. And you should 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 may purchase tow ball scales but I even have seen big discrepancies with the results proven by these scales. They aren’t top adjustable and this can affect the accuracy of the scales.

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

There’s a giant distinction when you get weighed by Weighpro. For a begin we come to your house (or appropriate location) we place scales beneath each 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 throughout the caravan and automobile.

We additionally weigh the tow ball and the result’s given in kilograms and as a percentage on the report (too mild on the tow ball can outcome in 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 actual weights with the producers specs to be sure to are secure and legal (All results detailed in our straightforward to learn and perceive 3-page report including explanations on all these complicated acronyms).

We additionally encourage you to move issues round throughout the van if weigh distribution isn’t perfect, 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 want. You may wish to see the difference with a weight distribution hitch (WDH) connected then disconnected….no problems. We are additionally not going to rush or strain you, and will fortunately take the time to explain something you are not positive of.

You will obtain your private 3-page report right there on the spot (no waiting for it to arrive by way of email so that you can print it out your self in a couple of days). We are still there to clarify anything you are not sure of.

Knowing your weights isn’t just a security issue but in addition a authorized issue… get it incorrect and it might price you in fines and demerit factors, worst still you would be concerned in an accident and then discover out that your insurance coverage has being declined.

Don’t have a caravan but want to weigh a boat trailer, weigh a trailer or weigh a horse float (with the horses on board) or simply automobile weighing no issues in any respect, you’re going to get the same stage of service.

We satisfaction ourselves on our professionalism, punctuality and friendliness.

Safe travels
