Prioritising Safety and compliance

Weighing trailer boats in Australia is crucial for maintaining the safety of people travelling in your vehicle and other road users.

By adhering to weight limits set by authorities, boaters can prevent accidents, maintain vehicle stability, and avoid costly fines and penalties for exceeding weight regulations. Properly weighed boats contribute to a more efficient towing experience, minimising wear and tear on the towing vehicle and promoting overall road safety.

Why Weigh Your Vehicle?

Compliance

Australia upholds stringent laws and regulations regarding your vehicle weight in order to promote road safety. Avoid fines by knowing the weight of your vehicle and staying within weight limits.

Vehicle Wear and Tear

Excessive weight in both the vehicle and tow can adversely impact the vehicle's performance, resulting in increased fuel consumption and accelerated wear and tear on various components.

Insurance and Warranty

Exceeding the legally defined limits for Gross Combination Mass (GCM), Gross Trailer Mass (GTM), Aggregate Trailer Mass (ATM), and Gross Vehicle Mass (GVM) is against the law. Doing so can risk your warranty in the case of component failures, and even result in loss of insurance coverage if weight is found to have played a role in an accident.

Improper loading or exceeding weight limits can cause caravan sway and make it challenging to regain control of the vehicle during an emergency. Starting your journey with a properly balanced load significantly enhances your ability to navigate safely and reduces the risk of ending up in hazardous situations.
