Is there a maximum Tongue Weight Capacity?

Trailer Tongue Weight

Just like any other tow vehicle, each trailer dolly model has a maximum tongue weight capacity. This plays an important role when deciding on which trailer dolly or accessory is right for you.

We recommend that your tongue weight be 10% of your trailer's gross weight (GVWR), although this may vary for smaller trailers.

Maximum Tongue Weight Capacity per Model

Maximum tongue weight capacities vary depending on the trailer dolly model and adapter being used:

Using your Parkit360 with too much or too little tongue weight could cause some issues while parking.

Too much tongue weight:

  • Difficulty moving the dolly
  • Wheels digging into firm ground
  • Tripping the circuit breaker(s)

Too little tongue weight:

  • Trouble moving over small lips and curbs
  • Wheels spinning in place; inadequate traction to move the trailer
