Towbar down load
The trailer nose load should never exceed 75
kg (165 lbs). 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 750 kg (1,653 lbs), 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 (300 feet) of elevation.
Never exceed the maximum towing weight and
specified load limit.
