Mobile caravan weighing Adelaide Plains
Accurate weighing at your home in the Adelaide Plains
Mobile caravan weighing Adelaide Plains
The Adelaide Plains stretch across open farmland and regional communities north and north-west of Adelaide, including Two Wells, Virginia, Lewiston, Mallala, Dublin, and surrounding localities. Many caravanners from this region head toward coastal destinations, long desert routes and extended touring holidays. Open, exposed roads in this area can amplify crosswind effects on the caravan and magnify any balance issues at higher speeds.
Weigh Be Safe brings mobile caravan weighing to homes across the Adelaide Plains. You can see how your caravan and tow vehicle work together before heading out on long roads or remote trips. The process is friendly and practical, so you start your journey with more confidence and safer handling.
Mobile methods and weighing sequence
We check the tow vehicle and caravan as you plan to use them and keep you involved throughout, so every number makes sense.
- Vehicle is weighed first – with all passengers and driver.
- The vehicle is hitched to the caravan.
- Next, we disconnect the caravan and weigh car with all passengers and driver.
- Rehitch caravan and remove from car from pads, measure tow ball height.
- Caravan moved onto weigh pads.
- Place tow hitch of caravan onto Tow Ball Scales at correct height. This height is pre measure. Weights are recorded after each intervention.
- Final Weight data is printed
- If any issues are found with balance or compliance, we then seek a solution along with the client and reprint Final Weight again.
We help caravanners across the Adelaide Plains prepare for long distance travel and regional adventures.
The weighing should reflect real conditions
To be accurate, the weighing must reflect real travel conditions.
Here is what we require on the day
- A flat solid base that is traffic free
- The caravan packed as if you are going away including fuel and water, bikes if taken
- All passengers included in the vehicle weight including family dogs
What we check during your visit
Your results show all values that matter to towing safety and compliance.
We record the following
- ATM or aggregated trailer mass
- GVM or gross vehicle mass
- GCM or gross combination mass
- GTM or gross trailer mass
- Axle loads for the car and the caravan
- Ball weight or tow ball force
- How weight is distributed inside the caravan
We also have a detailed guide to our mobile weighbridge service which explains ATM, GVM, GCM, GTM, axle loads and ball weight in more depth.
Top issues we fix for Adelaide Plains caravanners
Open roads and long load times can lead to common problems that we correct on site.
We often find
- Rear axle overloaded on the tow vehicle
- Ball weight too heavy or too light
- Caravan sitting nose high or nose low when hitched
These issues increase sway risk on windy open roads and change how the steering responds when speeds increase. Correct numbers help the caravan track straight behind the tow vehicle on long stretches across the plains.
Why safe towing matters in the Adelaide Plains
The open and exposed conditions of the Adelaide Plains can create strong crosswinds that push heavily loaded caravans off balance. Long drives to remote destinations also place greater pressure on your tow vehicle if axle loads and ball weight are incorrect. Passing heavy vehicles and navigating dusty rural roads can expose problems with sway or braking.
By checking your weights before the trip, you avoid these issues and enjoy a calmer and more predictable towing experience from the start.
