Hayman Reese Weight Distribution Systems improve safety, handling, control, and comfort when towing.

When using a Weight Distribution System, the ball weight remains the same, however, the load is evenly distributed through the vehicle's chassis to all four wheels. It is important that the capacity of the Weight Distribution System is correctly chosen and that the vehicle manufacturer's recommendations are always followed.

Choosing the right Weight Distribution System for you

To determine which Weight Distribution System is most suitable for you, first weigh your caravan, camper trailer, or trailer ball weight. We recommend you use a Ball Weight Scale to do this. most caravans, camper trailers, or trailers manufactured in Australia have a ball weight of 10% of the laden weight. But always remember, you need to consider everything you put into the caravan, camper trailer, or trailer, including water, gas bottles, food, luggage, etc. as this will have a direct on your ball weight.

The laden weight is often underestimated in Australia and this can become a problem when trying to balance your caravan, camper trailer, or trailer and tow vehicle with equipment that is not up to the task. Once you have determined your ball weight, record it and retain it for easy review.

Now that you have your ball weight, use the chart below to determine the correct size of the Weight Distribution System required.

Medium Duty (600lb):

The Hayman Reese 600 lb Weight Distribution kit is by far the most popular Weight Distribution towing aid in Australia. This kit suits trailers that have a ball weight between 135 kg and 275 kg.

Available in classic or standard kits, our 600 lb Weight Distribution system can accommodate various sized A-frames and coupling positions.

Both classic and standard Weight Distribution kits improve safety, handling, control, and comfort when towing. However, each kit has been specifically engineered for your individual needs.

Classic kits are best suited to trailers, camper trailers, and caravans that have a 4in high A-frame, or 5in and 6in high A-frames where the coupling is positioned at the bottom of the A-frame.

Standard kits are better suited to trailers, camper trailers, and caravans that require more clearance around the base of the A-frame. Perfect for 5in or 6in high A-frames with the coupling positioned in the middle or top of the A-Frame.

Hayman Reese's standard Weight Distribution kit comes equipped with all you need to restore the natural balance of your tow vehicle, suspension and steering geometry, whilst providing extra clearance around your A-frame.
