These are some of the frequent questions I see requested on the web. Can I simply go to a weigh station or public weighbridge?
In short sure. The massive distinction right here is the way by which the caravan weighing is done.
Yes, you'll have the ability to 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 again on to the weighbridge and re-hitch the caravan … as long as there may be not a few vans ready to get on the scales. And you must get your weights to an accuracy of 20kgs.
After all of that you nonetheless won’t know your tow ball weight, axle weights or how the burden is distributed. You could purchase tow ball scales but I even have seen large discrepancies with the outcomes shown by these scales. They are not peak 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 bought and the outcome was some 300kg lower than the precise weight (I’m undecided if he did something wrong or if the scales have been out of calibration).
There’s an enormous difference whenever you get weighed by Weighpro. For a start we come to your personal home (or suitable location) we place scales underneath each wheel, weighing at every wheel and axle weights utilizing the most recent certified wireless weigh pads and indicator. This allows you to see how the load is distributed within the caravan and car.
We also weigh the tow ball and the result's given in kilograms and as a share on the report (too light on the tow ball may find yourself 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 compare the precise weights with the producers specifications to ensure you are safe and authorized (All results detailed in our straightforward to learn and understand 3-page report together with explanations on all those complicated acronyms).
We also encourage you to maneuver things around inside the van if weigh distribution isn't best, 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 like to see the difference with a weight distribution hitch (WDH) connected then disconnected….no issues. We are also not going to hurry or stress you, and will happily take the time to clarify something you aren't sure of.
You will receive your private 3-page report right there on the spot (no waiting for it to arrive through email so that you just can print it out your self in a few days). We are nonetheless there to explain anything you are not sure of.
Knowing your weights is not only a security issue but also a authorized issue… get it wrong and it may value you in fines and demerit factors, worst nonetheless you would be concerned in an accident after which discover out that your insurance has being declined.
Don’t have a caravan but need to weigh a ship trailer, weigh a trailer or weigh a horse float (with the horses on board) or just car weighing no issues in any respect, you're going to get the identical degree of service.
We delight ourselves on our professionalism, punctuality and friendliness.
Safe travels
