Car and Caravan Overweight and Not Sure What to Do Next?
May 11, 2025
So, you’ve just been 𝖶𝖤𝖨𝖦𝖧𝖤𝖣 and found out your car or caravan is overweight? You’re not alone — and the good news is, there’s often a straightforward solution.
We understand how overwhelming it can feel, but don’t stress. In many cases, it might be as simple as having an engineer approve an 𝖠𝖳𝖬 or 𝖦𝖵𝖬 𝖴𝖯𝖦𝖱𝖠𝖣𝖤 — sometimes without any physical modifications at all.
At WEIGHED, we don’t just weigh your setup and leave you to figure it out. We work closely with experienced compliance engineers who can assess your report, guide you through upgrade options, and help get you back on the road legally and safely.
We’ve teamed up with Luke from Transmod and Deon from Okajaro to simplify the entire process. Whether you need a full engineering inspection or just a desktop review, they can assess your situation, upgrade your weight ratings where eligible, and handle the certification paperwork.
Transmod (Wide Bay & Surrounds)
Transmod is based in Oakhurst near Maryborough and run by Luke, a licensed TMR-approved certifier. He’s helped thousands of Queensland travellers upgrade their ATM or GVM limits — often without needing physical modifications. His process is fast, practical, and built around what works for real caravanners.

When we weigh your setup, you’ll receive a full compliance breakdown including:
- Gross Vehicle Mass (GVM)
- Gross Combination Mass (GCM)
- Aggregate Trailer Mass (ATM)
- Tow Ball Weight (TBW)
- Axle loads — including left and right distribution
These results are exactly what engineers like Luke and Deon need to assess upgrade potential. We’ll even help you get started with the referral if you’re unsure which path to take.
