Weigh Safe True Tow MiddleWeight Weight Distribution Hitch Head Assemblies

Weigh Safe True Tow MiddleWeight weight distribution hitch head assemblies are components of a high-strength steel weight distribution system designed to safely and accurately manage trailer tongue weight and reduce sway for medium-sized trailers. The head assembly houses the core patented technology that sets it apart from traditional hitches.

Key features of the head assembly:

* Built-in scale: The most notable feature is an integrated hydraulic scale that measures both the static tongue weight and the Distributed Tongue Weight (DTW). This eliminates guesswork, helping ensure the load falls within the recommended 10-15 percent of the Gross Trailer Weight (GTW) for safe towing.
* Live adjustment system: This system features an internal pivot point and lead screw that allows for real-time adjustments of the weight distribution without needing to disassemble the head assembly. Users simply turn the lead screw to the precise DTW measurement provided by the companion app.
* DTW companion app: A key part of the system is the Weigh Safe app (iOS and Android), which calculates the precise DTW needed for proper weight distribution based on specific vehicle and trailer measurements. The user then adjusts the hitch head's scale to match this number.
* Anti-sway technology: The head assembly includes integrated anti-sway friction areas that work with the spring arms and trailer brackets to help reduce trailer sway caused by wind, passing vehicles, or sudden maneuvers, providing a safer and smoother ride.
* Easy height adjustment: The head assembly is designed for easy and precise height adjustments with 1-inch increments, using a dual-pin key lock assembly for security and convenience.
* High-strength construction: The assembly is made from high-strength steel with a black powdercoat for durability and corrosion resistance.
* This is the head assembly only and typically needs other components (draw bar, spring arms, tow ball, etc.) to form a complete system

Purpose:

* The primary purpose is to distribute the tongue weight of the trailer evenly across the tow vehicle's front and rear axles and the trailer's axles, which restores the weight lost off the front axle when a heavy load is attached.
* This action improves steering control, braking performance, and overall towing stability, providing a safer towing experience.

Compatibility and ratings:

* Max GTW (Gross Trailer Weight): The MiddleWeight system is typically rated for up to 8,500 or 12,500 lbs., depending on the specific spring arms installed (the head assembly itself is rated for the higher loads)
* Max Tongue Weight: Up to 1,250 lbs. with the 12,500 lb. spring arms
* Receiver size: Available for both 2 in. and 2.5 in. receiver hitches
* Certifications: V5 and J684 certified for safety standards
