Weight distribution
See what your WDH is actually doing
Enter the hitch you run and loadmate models the axle effects, weight back on the front, off the rear, shared to the trailer, inside your compliance picture.
Free on iOS and Android. Explore a fully set-up demo rig before you add your own.
Set once, trusted forever
You dialed the hitch in once in the driveway. A year and a few trips later you're grinding up a long mountain grade, the front end feels light, and the CAT scale ticket only shows axle totals, not what the hitch is actually restoring.
But the tongue weight the hitch was tuned for moves with every trip: water, gear, the new toolbox. The hitch doesn't know that.
Your hitch, in the numbers
Tell it what you run
A front-axle restoration percentage for hydraulic hitches, or spring-bar rating, length and applied tension, with a live preview of the axle effects as you enter them.
The three numbers that matter
Weight restored to the tow vehicle's front axle, relieved from the rear, and shared onto the trailer's axles, so the effects flow straight into your compliance figures and score.
Flagged when the load outgrows the setup
If your tongue weight drifts more than 10% from what a restoration-mode hitch was set up for, loadmate raises it on your safety feed, so the hitch isn't tuned for last month's load.

“Allows you to explore combinations - a great safety tool”
Model it before you tow it
loadmate is free to download on iOS and Android. The demo rig runs a weight distribution hitch you can explore end to end.
Common questions
- Is the WDH check free, or do I need Pro?
The demo rig in loadmate runs a WDH you can model end to end for free. Saving the setup on your own trailer is a Pro action, and Pro is one annual subscription with the full app, no feature tiers.
- Does loadmate warn me when my hitch no longer suits the load?
Yes. In restoration mode it watches your tongue weight in the background and raises a safety-feed finding when it drifts more than 10% from what the setup was calculated for.
- Is loadmate on iPhone and Android?
Yes. loadmate is free to download on iOS and Android, and the WDH check is built into the app on both.
- Does the WDH check work without signal?
Yes. loadmate keeps your figures on the device and syncs them when you're back online, so you can model a setup at a scale or a remote campground with no bars.
