Milenco Heavyweight Noseweight Gauge

Precision-calibrated heavy-duty noseweight gauge

Before setting off with your caravan or trailer check your weight with the Milenco Heavyweight Noseweight Gauge, to help prevent "snaking", or swaying while driving. This is the only noseweight gauge approved and calibrated to British standards for these instruments - offering calibrated precision, accuracy, reliability and technical superiority over other noseweight gauges. It has a clear large scale to ensure the precise and safe loading for this safety critical area, to ensure caravan stability when towing.

When packing the caravan or trailer-boat for the trip, make sure that the load on the towball tongue does not exceed the recommended tongue weight (stated on the label). Too much weight may not only cause stability problems when driving, it can also put undue load on the towbar and connection to the vehicle chassis.

Incorrect loading has been identified as a factor in 27 crashes a year on New Zealand roads and it's probably one of the most difficult things to get right. That terrifying experience of a vehicle and trailer "snaking", or swaying on the open road, is a symptom of failure to get the balance right, but there is a device that can help.

A load leveller that fits onto the drawbar of the trailer and connects to the towbar on the towing vehicle can help to redress the balance through redistributing the load, so the weight is transferred further forward.
