How LoadCheck works
Four short steps, then a plain result you can act on.
The four steps
- Enter your vehicle's payload limit from the door label.
- Add the driver, any passengers, and cargo already on board.
- Choose what you're hauling, then the weight per item and how many.
- 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.
