Equal-i-zer Hitches, a towing accessory and hitch supplier, released the OnTarget Towing Tool. The laser towing tool uses a weight distribution formula to calculate the weight distribution percentage achieved by The Original Equal-i-zer Sway Control Hitch.
The OnTarget quantifiably measures weight distribution. Calculating weight distribution with the OnTarget is done by performing three simple measurements. Each measurement is made at the front wheel well of the tow vehicle in a different configuration. Once those measurements are registered, the OnTarget will output the amount of weight distribution in the form of a percentage.
Proper weight distribution provides improved steering, better braking, and enhanced vehicle control. This gives RVers a comfortable, safer tow and the peace of mind that comes from knowing their weight distribution is on target.
The towing tool enables dealership management to:
- Train new technicians faster and with more confidence. The tool has a simple design and training new technicians on how to set up a hitch using the OnTarget is “effortless,” the company stated.
- Install with increased speed and accuracy. This will save the dealership time and money and reduce the amount of customer service requests and complaints as well, the company stated.
- Confidently state the installation is to factory specifications, which helps to limit liability for the dealership.
Equal-i-zer also stated the OnTarget helps make campsite set up quick and easy. Consumers can use the laser distance measuring feature to quickly show how deep the campsite is or whether an awning can be fully extended in a wooded area. The tool can help level a trailer.
