YOUR TOW WEIGHT
Our Equipment
Latest wireless scales calibrated by NATA (National Association of Testing Authorities)
Our Scales consist of 4 wireless wheel scales, a wireless tow ball scale and a wireless control box with built in printer.
Wheel Scale
These are placed under each wheel of the caravan/car/light truck and send an individual readout to the base station. This is so the weight of each wheel, can be compared as well as each axel.
Each individual scale contains 4 x 1000kg load cells but are rated to 2000kg with an accuracy of +/- 1 kg. This means we can weigh vehicles up to 8 tonnes.
Tow Ball Scale
The tow ball scale is placed under the tow point of the caravan or trailer. It is important that this is set to the travel height of the tow ball, to provide the most accurate result.
The tow ball scale is rated to 1000 kg. When combined with the wheel scales, trailers up to 9 tonnes can be accurately weighed.
Our Experience
In his earlier years Andy studied Engineering and Construction management at RMIT and Deakin University.
This led to owning and running a successful business in Shade Sails and Light Weight Tension Structures. The business offered a complete service of Design, Engineering, Manufacture, and Installation of these structures.
In an effort to spend more time with his family as the kids grew up the shade sail business was sold and Andy and his family headed off on a 2 year caravanning trip around Australia.
On return to the Mornington Peninsula Andy started working for a small transport company delivering furniture out of 2 Mercedes vans. Employee quickly turned into Owner/Employer and the fleet grew to 5 trucks and a van.
It was this combination of Engineering, transport and a passion for Caravanning that led Andy to start Your Tow Weight. He saw the opportunity for someone passionate about caravans and road safety and the need for someone to provide a service that was not just another person operating a set of scales but someone who understands the engineering and principles behind safe towing.
