These are a number of the widespread questions I see asked on the web. Can I simply go to a weigh station or public weighbridge?
In quick sure. The big difference right here is the way during which the caravan weighing is done.

Yes, you 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 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 trucks waiting to get on the scales. And you should 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 weight is distributed. You might buy tow ball scales but I actually have seen large discrepancies with the results shown by these scales. They are not peak adjustable and this can have an result on the accuracy of the scales.

I had a customer 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 lower than the actual weight (I’m undecided if he did one thing mistaken or if the scales have been out of calibration).

There’s a giant difference when you get weighed by Weighpro. For a start we come to your personal home (or suitable location) we place scales beneath each wheel, weighing at every wheel and axle weights utilizing the newest licensed wi-fi weigh pads and indicator. This allows you to see how the load is distributed inside the caravan and automotive.

We also weigh the tow ball and the result is given in kilograms and as a percentage on the report (too gentle on the tow ball can result in trailer sway) … we additionally weigh to an accuracy of 1kg. We full a a lot more detailed weigh providing GVM, TBM, GTM, ATM & GCM. Our program/app will then examine the precise weights with the producers specifications to make sure you are safe and legal (All outcomes detailed in our easy to learn and understand 3-page report together with explanations on all those confusing acronyms).

We additionally encourage you to move things round within the van if weigh distribution just isn't perfect, to see how you 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 would possibly wish to see the difference with a weight distribution hitch (WDH) linked then disconnected….no problems. We are additionally not going to rush or stress you, and will happily 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 ready for it to reach by way of e-mail so that you can print it out your self in a few days). We are still there to explain something you are not certain of.

Knowing your weights is not just a security issue but in addition a legal issue… get it incorrect and it may value you in fines and demerit factors, worst nonetheless you could be concerned in an accident and then find out that your insurance has being declined.

Don’t have a caravan however need to weigh a ship trailer, weigh a trailer or weigh a horse float (with the horses on board) or simply automobile weighing no problems at all, you're going to get the identical degree of service.

We satisfaction ourselves on our professionalism, punctuality and friendliness.

Safe travels
