Gross Trailer Weight (GTW)
Gross Trailer Weight (GTW) is the weight of the trailer fully loaded in its
actual towing condition. GTW is measured by placing the fully loaded
trailer on a vehicle scale. The entire weight of the trailer should be
supported on the scale.
Tongue Weight (TW) is the downward force exerted on the hitch ball by the
trailer coupler. In most cases, it is about 10 to 15 percent of the GTW.
The tongue weight should also be taken into consideration when choosing a bike
rack or cargo carrier.
Tongue Weight up to 300 lbs. can be measure on a household scale by resting
the trailer coupler on the scale and placing the scale on a box so that the
coupler is at its normal towing height. The trailer must be fully loaded
and level.
For heavier tongue weights, place a household scale and a brick that's as
thick as the scale three feet apart. Set a length of pipe on each and rest
a beam across the pipes. Re-zero the scale to correct for the weight of
the beam and pipe. Securely block the trailer wheels. Rest the
trailer jack on the beam, one foot from the brick and two feet from the scale.
To obtain the TW, multiply the scale reading by three. For greater
tongue weights, place the scale and brick four feet apart, rest the jack on the
beam three feet from the scale and multiply the scale reading by four.
To determine the tongue weight for cargo carriers and bike racks, add the weights
of all the items or bikes plus the weight of the carrier
itself.
