Anderson weight distribution system

The video on their website looks interesting.

hi maxum11
no
but I watched the 2 videos
very interesting invention
but it mentioned in one video after 13 thousandmiles the zinc coating on the tow-ball still didn't show any signs of wearing
imho I don't think that represents a real trial
if they had of said after 200-300 th mls it might be more convincing
there are a lot of forces applies by it to a few small parts to transfer the weight and the t/ball is encased by a tapered sleeve made out of truck brake lining material which will in my opinion eventually wear
i'm not condeming it but hesitate on the side of caution
and just think I wouldn't buy one until someone else gives it a much longer trial and under aussie conditions as well
the yanks are known to be convincing when trying to sell something ??
cheers

The spring steel bar works in a different way to whatever this thing does.

I can see it may reduce sway by the inclusion of a friction element in the ball unit but as for weight transference it is very hard to imagine how it is anywhere near as effective as the original spring bars used.
To provide any appreciable weight transfer the chains would have to be under immense tension loading. To do that the side bolted plates would be forced at an angle on the chassis so the bolts were forced to lock onto the chassis before any weight transfer happened.

I would want to see how it weight transferred long before ever considering to buy one.
