The Weigh Safe Drop Hitch is the one and only trailer hitch with a built-in scale that signals you to adjust your load before you hit the road, resulting in a much safer and enjoyable towing experience Before this ball mount, gauging your trailer’s tongue weight was a hassle You had to rely on inefficient bathroom scales, make a trip to the weigh station, or purchase a separate tongue weight scale But with the Weigh Safe’s built-in scale, measuring your tongue weight is as easy as coupling your trailer to your ball mount Simply hook-up your trailer to the Weigh Safe ball mount just as you would any other ball mount The weight of your trailer will push down on the hitch ball, which in turn pushes down on an internal hydraulic piston that sits on a bed of oil When the piston drops into the oil, the pressure reading is sent out to the scale
- Tongue weight scale built into the ball mount platform helps you balance your trailer
- Promotes safe towing – lets you know if your load needs to be adjusted before you tow
- Simple operation – automatically provides a measurement every time you couple your trailer
- Efficient and hassle-free – eliminates the need for separate or commercial scales
- 6061 T6 billet aluminum shank and mounting platform provide superior strength and durability
- Solid block construction provides greater strength than hollow steel competitors while also maintaining a light weight
- Rustproof for a clean finish that stands the test of time
The 180 Hitch Features a 2? and 2-5/16? Stainless Steel Combo Ball.
Weigh Safe for an Improved On-road Trailer Performancea
There’s one problem frequently encountered by people who hitch trailers- trailer stability. Sometimes there’s too much swaying and sometimes, the rear tire stability is compromised. There’s only one explanation to that problem- improper tongue weight. Weigh safe has come up with an innovative solution to this problem in the form of adjustable ball mounts that measure tongue weight.
What’s meant by tongue weight?
Tongue weight is the force exerted by trailer tongue upon on the hitch/tow ball. It should be between 10-15% of the gross trailer weight (GTW). GTW is the total weight of the trailer and cargo, to be carried by the towing vehicle.
Too low or too high tongue weight can compromise on-road trailer performance in the following ways:
- Low tongue weight increases trailer sway which hampers stability of towing vehicle and its maneuverability around curves and corners.
- It negatively affects the braking capability of towing vehicle.
- High tongue weight overloads rear tires of towing vehicle, making it difficult to steer and thus, compromising rear end stability.
- Improper tongue weight doesn’t allow the towing vehicle to reach its maximum efficiency as to maintain trailer stability, the driver has to maintain a below optimum speed level.
- It adversely affects trailer hitches and ball mounts as well. Excessive sway over a long period of time can break or weaken certain components of hitches and ball mounts.
How Weigh Safe helps to maintain proper tongue weight?
Weigh Safe has the perfect solution in the form of ball mounts that measure tongue weight as it connects to a coupler. It comes fitted with a scale that measures tongue weight at the time of loading.
Benefits of tongue weight measuring system included in Weigh Safe Ball Mounts
- Accurate measurement of tongue weight with indicators for too low or too high tongue weight.
- You can find out right at the time of loading whether the tongue weight lies within optimum range or not.
- Tongue weight can be adjusted by moving the load towards or away from trailer axle. If the tongue weight is too light, you can move the load towards trailer axle. Similarly, move it away in case tongue weight exceeds safe limits.
Ball mounted hitches are perfect for small/medium/full-sized cars, SUVs and crossovers, cargo vans, and pickups carrying a GTW up to 3500 lbs. You can choose from the wide range of Weigh Safe Adjustable Ball Mounts according to the towing capacity of your vehicle and width of the hitch receiver.
