Checking Loads

The best way to confirm that vehicle

and trailer weights are within limits

is to have them checked at a public

scale.

Using a suitable scale or a special

tongue load gauge, check the tongue

load the first time you set up a

towing combination (a fully-loaded

vehicle and trailer), then recheck the

tongue load whenever the conditions

change.

Driving

Exceeding load limits or

improperly loading your vehicle

and trailer can cause a crash in

which you can be seriously

injured or killed.

Check the loading of your

vehicle and trailer carefully

before starting to drive.
