What we check

More than one number. A clearer picture of how your setup is actually loaded.

Every PROWEIGHED assessment is built around the vehicle, trailer or towing combination being presented.

Depending on the service, we measure and record information across individual wheels, axles, total mass, weight distribution, tyres and other relevant vehicle or trailer details.

The result is a more complete understanding of how the setup is carrying its load.

From individual wheels to the complete setup

PROWEIGHED starts at individual wheel level wherever applicable. Those measurements are then combined and reviewed together.

Depending on the assessment, additional tyre, height, towing and trailer information is also recorded.

Step one
Individual wheels
Each applicable wheel position measured on its own pad.
Step two
Axles
Front, rear, or the trailer axle group.
Step three
Left and right
How the load sits side to side.
Step four
Total mass
Read from the same measurements, not estimated from them.

What do we check on your setup?

The checks depend on what is being assessed. Choose the closest match to see what is measured and recorded.

4WD and tow vehicle assessment

A vehicle-only assessment, with no caravan or trailer connected.

No trailer is connected during this assessment, so tow ball mass, caravan ATM or GTM and a measured GCM are not included. Where a trailer is connected, the combination assessment applies.

The weight still has to be carried by the tyres

PROWEIGHED does not consider vehicle or trailer mass in isolation from the tyres carrying that load.

Where applicable we record tyre size, load index, tyre load capacity, tyre pressure, the manufacturer or placard pressure and tyre age. That information is then considered alongside the applicable wheel and axle measurements.

This is not a mechanical tyre inspection. We do not assess tread condition, structural condition, remaining tyre life or

Weight is only part of the setup

On applicable vehicle assessments, PROWEIGHED also records information that helps document how the vehicle is sitting under load.

Corner heights
Front-to-rear height variation
Left-to-right height variation
Hitched and unhitched heights where applicable
Helper airbag pressures where fitted

Selected checks beyond the scales

Depending on the assessment, PROWEIGHED may also record selected towing and trailer measurements or observations. Not every check applies to every service.

It is the combination of measurements that matters

No single measurement tells the entire story. A vehicle may be below GVM but still have a heavily loaded axle. A caravan may be below ATM but carry substantially more load on one side. A tow vehicle may change significantly once the caravan is connected.

That is why PROWEIGHED reviews the applicable measurements together rather than relying on one total number.

Trailer
Wheel loads + axle group + ATM + tow ball mass
Combination
Vehicle + caravan + tow ball mass + GCM

Clear about the scope

PROWEIGHED provides weight, loading and related measurement assessments. Our assessments do not replace specialist mechanical, engineering or roadworthy inspections.

Depending on the service, PROWEIGHED does not certify

Different setups need different checks

The measurements relevant to a 4WD are different from those required for a caravan, motorhome, boat trailer or complete towing combination.
