Towing safety, all in one place
Know your rig is safe before you tow.
loadmate builds a safety profile around your actual vehicle, trailer, loads, limits, tyres, maintenance and setup, then turns it into one clear score and report before you tow.
- One score for the whole rig: compliance, stability, health and confidence.
- See the effect of a change before you make it.
- It keeps working between trips, not just on setup day.
Free to try. No card required.

The problem
Towing safety isn't one problem. It's a dozen, all linked.
Your rig changes constantly: new gear, full tanks, a service that slips, a tyre quietly ageing. The information lives in a dozen places and drifts apart. Then something gets missed.
The limits
GVM, ATM, GTM, GCM and tow ball mass all matter, but the hard part is how they interact once the vehicle and trailer are hitched, loaded and changing.
The one-time weigh-in
You weighed it once. Then you added bikes, filled the tanks, threw in firewood and bought a new awning. The slip in the glovebox describes a rig that no longer exists.
The loading balance
Same total weight, packed two different ways, tows two completely different ways. Where it sits matters as much as how much it weighs.
The shrinking buffer
Every upgrade eats into headroom you cannot see. The drawers, the battery, the second spare, each one quietly pushes you closer to a limit.
The patchwork
A spreadsheet for weights, a notes app for services, a glovebox folder for warranty, photos of tyre sidewalls on your phone. Nothing talks to anything else.
The health items
Old tyres, stale pressure checks, overdue bearings, missed services and worn components all affect whether the rig is ready for the next trip.
One connected profile
One profile for the whole rig.
loadmate isn't a one-off calculator. It connects every part of your setup, so a change in one place updates everything else.
Connected rig profile
Vehicle & trailer limits
Every legal limit for your exact pairing, checked together, not in isolation.
Loads & storage zones
Place gear in real zones and see how each item shifts the balance, not just the total.
Weigh-ins & baselines
Hit a weighbridge once and the loads you carried become your calibrated baseline.
Tyres, service & warranty
Age, intervals and cover tracked in the background, surfaced when they matter.
Trips & odometer
Plan a trip and your projected kilometres flow through every interval and date.
Score, attention feed & report
One number, a prioritised list of what to fix next, and a report you can hand over.
The score
Why the score is credible
One score, with the working shown.
The number isn't a black box. You can see exactly what moves it, and what's holding it back.
- The floor
Legal limits come first.
GVM, GCM, ATM, axle limits, tow capacity and tow ball mass are checked against your actual setup. A hard breach caps the score and cannot be hidden behind a good-looking average.
- The behaviour
Then how it actually tows.
A rig can be legal and still tow badly. loadmate weighs load placement, centre of gravity, hitch setup and the balance between vehicle and trailer, the things you feel at 100 km/h.
- Confidence
Confidence reflects the data picture.
Recent weigh-ins, complete specs, assigned loads, storage zones, tyre dates and service records make the score stronger. Missing or stale data lowers confidence or creates a clear next action.

Hitched weighting. A breached hard limit caps the score — it isn't averaged away.
It keeps working
Your rig profile keeps working after setup.
Trips, odometer, tyre age, service intervals, loads, warranty dates and weigh-ins all change over time.
loadmate keeps those pieces connected, so as a trip approaches it can tell you what needs attention before you leave. It projects your odometer to the end of the trip, then checks service intervals, tyre dates, warranty dates and weigh-ins against the trip window.
You either fix it before you go, or you go knowing.
Demo rig
Move it before you lift it
See the change before you make it.
The spare wheel weighs 35 kg and it's on the roof. Move it in the app first.
Shift a load, move the water, change where something sits, and loadmate recalculates the effect on your balance and score before you touch the rig. If the change helps, you'll see it. If it doesn't, you've saved yourself the lift.

loadmate is decision support for towing safety, not legal weight certification — verify against a certified weighbridge; the tow remains the operator's responsibility. Safety note.
Within limits
One clear report
One page for the question everyone asks: are we within limits?
The Compliance Snapshot is a clean, printable summary of where your rig stands right now. On a single page it lays out:
Your safety information stays accessible, even if Pro lapses.
- Your current setup, hitched or solo
- Every limit and how much margin is left
- The baseline the numbers are based on
- Score status and confidence
- Anything sitting close to the edge
The whole towing picture
Not just weights. Everything that stays connected.
Set each part up once and loadmate keeps it in the picture, quietly, in the background, surfacing only what needs you.
Tyre intelligence
Set them up once. loadmate watches age and load rating in the background and flags a tyre before it's a problem. Trailers can be harder on tyres because they sit out in the sun.
Maintenance
Service intervals projected against your real odometer and your planned trips, so nothing falls due mid-trip by surprise.
Warranty
Keep issues, calls, photos and promised timelines on the record against each rig, with expiry dates tracked. The paper trail you'll want if a claim is ever disputed.
Trips
Plan a trip and loadmate checks maintenance, tyres, warranty and weights against the dates. The pre-trip check that shows what changed before you leave.
More than one rig
Your daily ute, your hitched-up rig, a partner's car towing the same van. Separate setups, separate scores, one tap to switch between them.
Loads & storage
Place gear in real storage zones and see how each item affects balance, not just the total on the scales.
Why we built it
Built because towing safety deserved better tools.
loadmate started with the same frustration a lot of towers hit: plenty of blogs, calculators, checklists and forum threads, but very little that connected the whole rig.
The more we researched and listened to people who tow, the clearer the gap became. loadmate exists to turn that complexity into a safety profile you can actually use, and keep using.
Built in Western Australia by people who tow.
