Trailer Tongue Scale Helps Balance Loads

Trailer Tongue Scale Helps Balance Loads WAGONS/TRAILERS Accessories 25-1-8 Every hitch on a car or truck is rated for a certain capacity, but how often do you really know how much you're hauling? With this ingenious new Trailer Tongue Weight Scale you can know exactly how much weight is on the tongue and the approximate load you're towing. "If your trailer tongue is severely overloaded, or even underloaded, sooner or later disaster will strike," says Sherline Products' Craig Libuse. "For most trailers, 12 to 15 percent of the total trailer weight is recommended but how you load your trailer makes a big difference. Once your trailer tongue is too heavy to lift, it could weigh 200 or 2,000 lbs. There's no way to tell unless you weigh it." Sherline is a company that prides itself on providing detailed accurate information to customers. So when it came out with the Trailer Tongue Scale, the company also put together a detailed 16-page booklet on trailer loading and towing. Libuse says there's no better guide anywhere on towing. "We went to a variety of companies and sources to put together this detailed book. There's nothing else like it anywhere and it's free to anyone, regardless of whether or not they buy our Trailer Tongue Weight Scale," notes Libuse. The book can be downloaded free at the company's web site (www.sherline.com/lmbook.htm or www.sherline.com/lmbook1.pdf). Or you can call or write for a free copy. Three models of the Trailer Tongue Weight Scales are available - 1,000, 3,000 and 5,000 lbs. They sell for $110 suggested retail.
