Video of Sherline Trailer Tongue Weight Scale - 2,000-lb Capacity

Today we are going to review part number 5780, the Sherline Trailer Tongue Weight Scale. This scale is rated to 2,000 pounds capacity. This scale is a good thing to keep in your tool box simply because if you have got a trailer that carries multiple loads, chances are your tongue weights are going to vary so this will give you a good idea on what you are dealing with before you hit the road. The gauge itself you can see has a nice white face with black lettering on top of it and it has two different measurements basically. It has metric and standard. The top part of the scale also unthreads if you want to put this underneath the bottom say for example a jack itself. 00:31
The best way to use this scale is to put it in the coupler itself where the ball rides and that will give you your most accurate reading of course right at the very end. You will have to have some kind of stand underneath the tongue on the trailer and put the scale on top of that plus the trailer on top of the scale and you would end up with something like this. If you do not have the ability to do that the next best thing is to go underneath the jack itself and that is how we will demonstrate it. The first thing you want to do is lift the trailer up so you can put the scale underneath. Be careful when you do this. Put the scale underneath the jack and lower the trailer back on to it. Lower it until all of the weight is on top of the scale. With that, that will finish our review of part number 5780.

This scale works great!!!!! You dont just need this once, you want to always recheck how your load is distributed in your trailer and recheck your tongue weight if you have changed the position or the contents of your load to keep your hitch weight within a safe range. Everybody should have one. This is CHEAP insurance for your safety and especially "peace of mind"..... Ren27496

This is a EXCELLENT value and a "must have" for adjusting your load on or in a trailer of any type. Too much or too little tongue weight both can be dangerous to your safety. Accuracy of scale seems to be very good. 25353

This handy little scale really does the job. I came across this scale from the Sherline site, when googling for "trailer loading tips". For the relatively cheap $120, I found out that I had not only exceeded the max tongue weight on my trailer, but went investigating and found out that my trailer itself was overloaded. Instead of loading up and taking a guess with my safety, I am happy to have spent the money for this well built, American made tool that looks and feels like it is built to last. This tool, or one like it, is a must for every person who owns a trailer.24653

Well-made scale. Instruction booklet has lots of good info about trailer loading and safe hauling. I have a 22' enclosed cargo trailer that I use as a "portable store" for my business. Was able to determine that I have too much weight on the tongue and need to move things around for proper balance. Etrailer had a great price and super-fast shipping-- Thanks!!23597

Set the scale up to weigh the hitch on our 30' travel trailer. The book said the dry weight should be about 880 lbs. The scale gave the same weight.7177
