Trailer terminology
ATM / GTM
Aggregate (or gross) trailer mass ie the total legal permissible weight of the trailer including its payload. The ATM / GTM capacity can be found on the manufacturers' compliance plate affixed to the trailer.
Tare
The weight of the trailer when empty.
Payload
The legal maximum allowable load the trailer can carry ie ATM - tare = payload
Single Axle
The trailer has one axle (2 wheels)
Tandem Axle
The trailer has two axles (4 wheels)
Box Trailer
A 'box' trailer is an open topped trailer with sides (and not a fully enclosed trailer).
Override Brakes
Brakes are activated by inertia via a sliding shaft to the trailer tow hitch acting on either a hydraulic or mechanical (ie cable) connection to the brakes. A trailer braking control system to the tow vehicle is not required with this system. All of our trailers employ an override braking system as it's compatible with all tow vehicles.
What can your vehicle tow?
Check the manufacturer's plate or sticker to your vehicles' tow bar and also the vehicles' Owners' manual for the manufacturers' recommended towing capacity limits for both braked and unbraked trailers. The capacities quoted will represent the Aggregate (Gross) Trailer Mass (ATM / GTM) ie the total legal permissible weight of the trailer when loaded.

We offer a one-way interstate system that’s super easy to use. They offer trailers that are fully enclosed and lockable, so you know your possessions will be safe on their travels, plus they make one way rental easy and affordable.

As agents for U-Haul, we can offer access to a good range of vehicles to help your move.
