Position Load
Position Load
Position trailer load for proper tongue weight by following procedure. Proper tongue weight will enhance
towing stability and safety.
1.
Select appropriate size tow vehicle based on trailer gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR).
2.
Adjust hitch on trailer so that hitch is about 2 in (51 mm) higher than level when coupled to tow vehicle.
3.
Load trailer.
4.
Pull trailer onto scale. Ensure tow vehicle wheels are off scale.
5.
Unhitch trailer from tow vehicle and lower jack to remove all tongue weight from vehicle.
6.
Record total unhitched weight of trailer and load. This is gross trailer weight (GTW) and must not
exceed trailer GVWR or tow vehicle GTW.
7.
Multiply GTW by 0.9 and record this number as 90% GTW.
8.
Hitch trailer to tow vehicle. Raise and stow jack.
9.
Watch scale readout while helper positions load. When scale displays 90% GTW value, the load is
positioned properly with at least 10% of GTW on hitch. Do not exceed tow vehicle capabilities. See tow
vehicle manual. Do not exceed maximum trailer tongue load specification or hitch capabilities.
10. Tie down load. See machine operator’s manual.
11. Mark positions of all equipment that will be unloaded at jobsite to allow correct loading when work is
finished.
IMPORTANT:
Access to truck scales is required for this procedure.
