Horse Float, Boat and Trailer Weighing

From allowing extra stopping distance, understanding sway, and manoeuvring tricky terrain and tight spaces, hauling a trailer or horse float adds a layer of responsibility on the road. Checking your trailer weights before you travel helps you stay safe and compliant, mitigating uneven tyre wear, compromised braking efficiency, and potential accidents.

At Drive A Weigh, we offer comprehensive mobile trailer weighing services to customers in Melbourne’s South-Eastern suburbs, Bayside, the Mornington Peninsula, Bass Coast and parts of Gippsland. Appointments are also available for customers outside of these areas. Weigh your trailer separately or with your vehicle. The choice is yours. Call us on 0401 476 948 or submit an enquiry to book an appointment.

Comprehensive weight reports

While weighing your trailer is a relatively straightforward process, it’s important to remember that every manufacturer has different load-bearing specifications. After completing all trailer or camper weight checks in kgs, we’ll compare our findings against the manufacturer’s specifications and make general recommendations about how to reduce or distribute your load efficiently. Additionally, we’ll indicate necessary adjustments to make your trailer safe and legal.
