We Perform Mobile Caravan Weighing in Adelaide
Getting your caravan weighed is important, but it need not be a hassle or major chore. We provide a mobile caravan weighing service throughout Adelaide, and while we’re there, we can also weigh the towing vehicle. So instead of driving out to a weigh station or weighbridge without the correct knowledge, book a timeslot that suits you, and we’ll bring the weighbridge to you. Our technician is highly experienced with our weighing technology and interpreting the outcomes. We provide a comprehensive report that covers all aspects of your vehicle’s weight. We’ll help you understand the report by explaining it, compare the findings to the compliance plates, point out the issues, and provide advice or recommendations on how to rectify them.
It is important to weigh a caravan when you purchase it to confirm its base weight after adding accessories such as an awning and when it’s fully packed to ensure it meets the regulated safety weight. Remember to weigh the towing vehicle when it’s fully loaded, including passengers and a full fuel tank.
Reasons to Make Use of Our Caravan Weighing Service
The obvious reasons to ensure your caravan is at the correct weight are for the safety of you and other road users and to ensure your caravan is roadworthy, so you don’t receive a fine. However, there are several other important reasons to book your caravan for weighing wherever you are in Adelaide.
- Excess weight puts unnecessary strain on the chassis and running gear which will result in them wearing out faster. If your caravan is overweight and unbalanced, it will cause swaying behind the towing vehicle–the main cause of caravan accidents.
- Since driving an overloaded vehicle or caravan is illegal, insurance policies can exclude overloaded vehicles and caravans when involved in an accident.
- An overweight caravan causes instability, overloads the towing vehicle’s brakes, and puts additional and unnecessary strain on the towing vehicle.
You’ll receive a comprehensive report that our experienced technician will go through with you. We’ll assist with rectifying any issues to get your caravan to the legal weight restriction. We’ll also provide advice on how to pack your caravan so it meets the weight requirements and is correctly balanced.
