These are a few of the common questions I see requested on the internet. Can I simply go to a weigh station or public weighbridge?
In quick yes. The huge difference right here is the finest way in which the caravan weighing is finished.
Yes, you probably 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 automobile 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's 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 simply still won’t know your tow ball weight, axle weights or how the burden is distributed. You might purchase tow ball scales however I actually have seen big discrepancies with the outcomes proven by these scales. They are not peak adjustable and it will affect the accuracy of the scales.
I had a customer 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 actual weight (I’m not sure if he did one thing incorrect or if the scales were out of calibration).
There’s a big difference if you get weighed by Weighpro. For a begin we come to your home (or suitable location) we place scales underneath every wheel, weighing at each wheel and axle weights using the latest licensed wi-fi weigh pads and indicator. This allows you to see how the load is distributed within the caravan and car.
We additionally weigh the tow ball and the result's given in kilograms and as a proportion on the report (too mild on the tow ball can lead to trailer sway) … we additionally weigh to an accuracy of 1kg. We full a means more detailed weigh providing GVM, TBM, GTM, ATM & GCM. Our program/app will then evaluate the precise weights with the producers specs to be certain to are protected and legal (All results detailed in our simple to read and understand 3-page report together with explanations on all those confusing acronyms).
We also encourage you to maneuver issues round throughout the van if weigh distribution isn't best, to see how you 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 might prefer to see the difference with a weight distribution hitch (WDH) related then disconnected….no issues. We are additionally not going to rush or stress you, and will happily take the time to explain something you are not certain of.
You will receive your private 3-page report right there on the spot (no waiting for it to reach via email so that you just can print it out yourself in a few days). We are still there to elucidate something you aren't positive of.
Knowing your weights is not just a safety problem but in addition a authorized issue… get it mistaken and it could value you in fines and demerit factors, worst still you can be concerned in an accident and then discover out that your insurance coverage 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 vehicle weighing no problems in any respect, you will get the same stage of service.
We pride ourselves on our professionalism, punctuality and friendliness.
Safe travels
