ATM UPGRADE

What is an ATM Upgrade?

An Aggregate Trailer Mass (ATM) upgrade involves increasing the maximum allowable weight of your caravan or trailer, encompassing the trailer’s tare weight, payload, and tow ball load. This process ensures your vehicle complies with safety standards and optimizes load capacity, allowing for safer and more efficient travel.

Why Choose HYPE Engineering for Your ATM Upgrade?

• Comprehensive Assessment: Our engineers conduct thorough evaluations of critical components such as chassis integrity, suspension, brakes, axles, tires, and coupling systems to determine eligibility for an ATM increase.

• Minimal Modifications Required: In many cases, caravans and trailers can achieve a higher ATM without the need for structural modifications, making the upgrade process more straightforward and cost-effective.

• Professional Certification: Upon successful assessment, we provide official documentation, including a blue modification plate and certification, to validate the new ATM rating.
