Abstract A trailer connection includes a skid plate and king pin, with the skid plate being connected to the trailer chassis via cross beams. A load measuring device such as a load cell is located between the skid plate and the cross beams, so that any vertical load passing through the connection must pass through the load measuring device. In this way the weight of the trailer being borne by the towing vehicle can be readily determined. Fig.21
