These are some of the common questions I see requested on the internet. Can I simply go to a weigh station or public weighbridge?
In short yes. The huge distinction right here is the means in which in 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 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 is 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 load is distributed. You could purchase tow ball scales but I even have seen big discrepancies with the results proven by these scales. They are not top adjustable and this can have an effect on the accuracy of the scales.
I had a buyer weigh his mixture after being weighed by Weighpro (I was nonetheless there) using tow ball scales and Reich scales he bought and the end result was some 300kg less than the precise weight (I’m unsure if he did one thing wrong 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 house (or appropriate location) we place scales under every wheel, weighing at every wheel and axle weights using the most recent licensed wireless weigh pads and indicator. This permits you to see how the load is distributed throughout the caravan and automotive.
We also weigh the tow ball and the result is given in kilograms and as a proportion on the report (too light on the tow ball can result in trailer sway) … we also weigh to an accuracy of 1kg. We complete a a lot more detailed weigh offering GVM, TBM, GTM, ATM & GCM. Our program/app will then compare the precise weights with the manufacturers specs to make positive you are safe and authorized (All outcomes detailed in our straightforward to learn and perceive 3-page report including explanations on all those confusing acronyms).
We additionally encourage you to maneuver issues round inside the van if weigh distribution is not perfect, to see how one can improve your steadiness and tow ball weight of your caravan.
You can weigh with empty or full water tanks, add the bikes or kayaks whatever you want. You might like to see the difference with a weight distribution hitch (WDH) connected then disconnected….no problems. We are additionally not going to rush or pressure you, and will fortunately take the time to clarify anything you are not certain of.
You will obtain 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 your self in a couple of days). We are still there to explain anything you aren't positive of.
Knowing your weights is not just a safety issue but additionally a authorized issue… get it wrong and it might price you in fines and demerit points, worst nonetheless you would be concerned in an accident and then find out that your insurance coverage has being declined.
Don’t have a caravan but need to weigh a boat trailer, weigh a trailer or weigh a horse float (with the horses on board) or simply vehicle weighing no issues in any respect, you will get the identical degree of service.
We satisfaction ourselves on our professionalism, punctuality and friendliness.
Safe travels
