Trailer load gauge?

we have them on some of our Utility trailers.

They are put inside a weather resistant box for protection.

 

we have them on our flats. also in a plastic box

 

I've bought several from industrial supply stores, just tell them it will be recieving alot of bouncing since the needle seems to be the weakest point. You can buy them with the fitting on the back or the bottom.

 

Don't mount it on the back of the trailer, I've never understood why people do this. We've had cops drive beside our grain hoppers looking at the pressure gauge trying to see if you overloaded. (put a regulator on one to stop that little trick. Load what you want and turn the regulator until the gauge shows what you want!)

Mount it so it's hidden in case you do find a good paying load that MAY just be a bit heavy. No point advertising.

 

Just bought 6 gauges with fittings for under $200 from new life/road equipment.

 

what's it costing?

 

$20 glycerin filled gauge at NAPA does the job.

If you want to waste money throw some my way!
