How LoadCheck works

Four short steps, then a plain result you can act on.

The four steps

  1. Enter your vehicle's payload limit from the door label.
  2. Add the driver, any passengers, and cargo already on board.
  3. Choose what you're hauling, then the weight per item and how many.
  4. Pick a planning buffer and check your load.

What it calculates

  • Available payload: your limit minus people and existing cargo
  • Planning capacity: available payload with your buffer applied
  • How many items fit within the entered payload and within your planning limit
  • Estimated trips and a simple per-trip breakdown

What it does not calculate

  • Axle loading and tire capacity
  • Cargo fit, load distribution and securement
  • Towing limits and trailer tongue weight
  • Whether a specific load is safe to transport

Follow your vehicle manufacturer's limits and instructions.
