Loads
Your weighbridge ticket was right on weigh day
A weighbridge ticket is a snapshot of one day. loadmate tracks what's on board since, so your GVM, ATM and tow ball figures reflect the latest entries.
Available on iOS and Android. Explore how a recorded load change affects the rig using the app’s populated demo.
The ticket in the glovebox says March
You weighed the rig after you picked up the van. Since then: a second battery, a bigger toolbox, three jerry cans, and the water tanks are full for this trip. The number on that ticket hasn't changed. The rig under you has.
Overweight rigs rarely get there in one purchase. They creep, a few kilograms at a time, trip after trip, while the paperwork stays frozen on weigh day.
Track the load, and the numbers follow
Add what's on board, and where it sits
Every load lives in a zone, cabin, tunnel boot, roof rack, and counts against GVM, ATM, axle loads and tow ball mass. Move the toolbox from the ute to the van and the tow ball figure shifts with it.
Two taps for the weights that change most
Water tanks, gas bottles and jerry cans are consumables in loadmate: set the fill level, full, three-quarters, half, quarter, empty, and the effective weight updates. Your score and compliance refresh next time you open the Rig tab.
Changes-Since keeps drift visible
Everything you've added, moved or removed since your last weigh-in, in one list. When enough has genuinely changed, loadmate suggests a re-weigh, based on what moved, not the calendar.
From an App Store review of loadmate v1
“helped with my planning the load layout in both Caravan and Ute”
Know your numbers before the next weigh
loadmate is free to download on iOS and Android, with a fully set-up demo rig to explore before you add your own.
Common questions
- Is weight tracking free, or do I need Pro?
Your safety score and compliance checks are free for everyone, and loadmate ships with a fully set-up demo rig you can explore end to end. Adding and editing the loads on your own caravan is part of Pro. That's the point where loadmate starts managing your real rig.
- Does the app keep my weights current between weighbridge visits?
Yes. Flag water tanks, gas bottles and jerry cans as consumables and a fill-level tap updates their weight; every load counts against GVM, ATM, axle loads and tow ball mass, and Changes-Since shows what you've added or moved since your last weigh-in.
- Is loadmate on both iOS and Android?
Yes. It's free to download on the App Store and Google Play, and the same weight tracking works on both.
- Can I try it before I pay?
Yes. Every screen works on a fully populated demo rig, an Australian LandCruiser and Jayco, with no trial countdown. You're only asked to go Pro when you add your own rig.
Sizing up a different combination?
A canopy, extra battery and full water tanks all take a share of the load. Use the loadmate app to compare the combination, then see how the limits change as you record what you carry.
