Your 4WD or tow vehicle bears the brunt of your adventures. Your total available payload can be thrown out of balance by the slightest modifications such as bull-bars, awnings, roof racks, and more. Overloading your vehicle can steer you down a path of premature wear on tyres, strained suspension, reduced braking performance, and compromised stability. In other words, it’s an accident waiting to happen, and an insurance claim waiting to be denied.
Weigh Station come to the rescue by meeting you at your convenience and weighing up the facts and figures. We check all your vehicle weights including individual wheel weights and axle weights to produce a report outlining what your vehicle should weigh, what it actually weighs, and whether there’s any payload leftover.
Your caravan, campervan, and motorhome are your gateway to exploring – they’re your home away from home. But 8 out of 10 vehicles we weigh are overweight, which means they’re unsafe and unfit for the road. The most common reasons we encounter are incompatible vehicles for the tow, increased payload through modifications or accessories, and a lack of understanding about factors such as ATM, TARE weight, and GVM (explained in our FAQs).
Weigh Station are a team of seasoned outback travellers, so we know what makes a great combination of towing safety measures, and what makes a dangerous mix. We meet you (and/or your friends, family, and entire club) at a suitable spot and convenient time to check over your setup, get you weighed, and provide your comprehensive report and recommendations before you get set to go.
