Why Weighing Your Rig is Essential

Exceeding your weight limits or having an unbalanced load isn't a minor issue — it's a critical safety hazard. It severely impacts your vehicle's braking, steering, and stability, leading to dangerous trailer sway and mechanical failure. Our service identifies these risks *before* they become problems.

Prevent Accidents

An unbalanced trailer is a primary cause of uncontrollable sway. We pinpoint load distribution issues so you can protect your family, your vehicle, and your assets.

Avoid Fines & Insurance Issues

In the event of an accident, being overweight can void your insurance policy, leaving you liable. Our detailed compliance report serves as your proof of due diligence.

Protect Your Investment

Excess weight accelerates wear on your tow vehicle's engine, brakes, and suspension. Proper load distribution saves you thousands in costly mechanical repairs.

We provide a multi-page PDF report that clearly outlines every critical weight measurement for your vehicle and trailer. It's the peace of mind you need, in writing.

We Come To You

We arrive at your location—home, storage facility, or office—with our calibrated portable scales. All we need is a flat, level surface.

2

Individual Wheel Weighing

We weigh each wheel of the tow vehicle and caravan independently. This allows us to check for side-to-side balance and calculate all critical weights.

3

Full Combination Check

We weigh your setup in its "as-travelled" state (fully loaded) to get a real-world picture. We measure tow ball weight, axle loads, GVM, GCM, and more.

Instant Report & Advice

We input all data into our system and provide you with a detailed, multi-page compliance report immediately. We'll talk you through the results and offer practical advice.

Tow Weight Explained

The world of towing is full of acronyms. Here’s a simple breakdown of the key terms we measure for your caravan and tow vehicle.

GVM Gross Vehicle Mass
+

This is the maximum your tow vehicle can weigh when fully loaded. This includes the vehicle itself, all passengers, fuel, luggage, accessories (like bull bars and roof racks), and the 'tow ball mass' from your caravan. Exceeding your GVM is very common and very dangerous.

Learn More
GTM Gross Trailer Mass
+

This is the maximum weight of your caravan's axles when it is loaded and attached to the tow vehicle. It's the total weight of your loaded caravan, *minus* the weight that is being supported by the tow ball.

Learn More
ATM Aggregate Trailer Mass
+

This is the maximum your caravan can weigh when fully loaded and *unhitched* from your tow vehicle. It's the GTM plus the weight supported by the jockey wheel (the Tow Ball Mass). This is the number most often written on the caravan's compliance plate.

Learn More
TBM Tow Ball Mass
+

Also known as 'Ball Load', this is the downward force your caravan exerts on your vehicle's tow ball. It's crucial for stability—too little can cause sway, too much can overload your vehicle's rear axle. This weight counts towards your GVM.

Learn More
GCM Gross Combination Mass
+

This is the maximum legal weight of your tow vehicle and caravan combined. It is the total weight of your fully loaded vehicle *plus* the total weight of your fully loaded caravan.
