Towbar down load
The trailer nose load should never exceed 50
kg. This is the amount of weight the trailer
puts on the towbar when it is fully-loaded. As
a rule of thumb for trailer weights of less than
500 kg, the trailer nose load should be 10
percent of the total trailer package.
•
Excessive trailer nose load reduces front tyre traction and steering control. Too
little trailer nose load can make the trailer unstable and cause it to sway.
•
To achieve a proper trailer nose load, start by loading 60% of the load towards
the front of the trailer and 40% towards the rear. Readjust the load as needed.
1
If you tow a trailer in mountainous conditions,
remember to reduce 10% of the combined vehicle
weights from the maximum towing weight for every
1,000 metres of elevation.
Never exceed the maximum towing weight and
specified load limit.
