Hydraulic Tongue Weight Scale Combo 2000 Lb - Installed Gauge

In this review the Hydraulic Tongue Weight Scale Combo is examined for trailer owners who need a simple, direct way to measure tongue weight before towing. The bottom line: this Sherline combo is for people who want a built, installed gauge that measures up to 2000 lb with an included spare 0-1000 lb gauge, saving time and removing guesswork when hitching. It is straightforward to use, offers both Lb and Kg readouts, and requires only a 9/16' open wrench to swap gauges when different ranges are needed.

Key Features

• Installed 5780 scale: Provides a full 0-2000 lb (and 0-900 kg inner scale) capacity so heavier tongue loads are measured without multiple devices.
• Spare 0-1000 lb gauge: Offers a lower-range gauge for finer resolution on lighter trailers or when small adjustments matter.
• Dual units: The primary scale shows both pounds and kilograms so users can read weight in the unit they prefer.
• Simple swap mechanism: Changing between gauges only needs a 9/16' open wrench, keeping maintenance and adjustments quick.
• Direct placement: Designed to sit under the ball receiver or jack stand so tongue weight is measured directly where it matters for towing safety.

Who It's For

This product suits trailer owners, frequent haulers, and workshop technicians who need a reliable, installed tongue weight gauge without electronic complexity. It is especially useful for those who tow a variety of loads and want both high-capacity measurement and a finer spare gauge for lighter setups.

It is not aimed at users who need digital logging, wireless connectivity, or integrated vehicle systems. If you require Bluetooth, app tracking, or multi-point load mapping, look for electronic scales instead, but for straightforward mechanical measurement this combo is practical and durable.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Installed 0-2000 lb gauge handles heavy tongue loads without additional tools.

Cons

• Requires a 9/16' open wrench to switch gauges, which is not included with the package.
• Mechanical gauge format lacks digital features some buyers may expect, such as memory or wireless reporting.
