Four Calculators That Will Help You With Towing and Travel Loads
Do you know the affect on the car or trailer’s axles, or perhaps the ball weight, when:
- you move the family dog from the back seat to the rear part of the car?
- you put that carton of beer, the fridge, the extra spare tyre and the swag in the back of the ute?
- you remove a jerry of water from the drawbar?
- you place 3 bicycles on the back of your trailer?
These calculators will help you:
- Calculate the impact of the Ball Load on the Car’s Rear Axle Load – Load Table 1
- Determine the Multiplier for Ball to Car Rear Axle Load – Load Table 2
- Identify the impact of moving items in the Trailer that will change the Ball and Trailer Axle Load – Load Table 3
- Identify the impact of moving items in the Car that will change Car Axle Loads – Load Table 4
Once you’ve calculated the impacts on the axles, ball and the whole rig of moving, removing or adding these loads, you’ll be able to see how they can help you stay within safe / legal levels.
