1.1. STEPS FOR DETERMINING CORRECT LOAD LIMIT –
TRAILER
Determining the load limits of a trailer includes more than
understanding the load limits of the tires alone. On all trailers there is a
Federal certification/VIN label that is located on the forward half of the left
(road) side of the unit. This certification/VIN label will indicate the trailer’s
Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR). This is the most weight the fully
loaded trailer can weigh. It will also provide the Gross Axle Weight Rating
(GAWR). This is the most a particular axle can weigh. If there are multiple
axles, the GAWR of each axle will be provided. If your trailer has a GVWR
of 10,000 pounds or less, there is a vehicle placard located in the same
location as the certification label described above. This placard provides tire
and loading information. In addition, this placard will show a statement
regarding maximum cargo capacity. Cargo can be added to the trailer, up to
the maximum weight specified on the placard. The combined weight of the
cargo is provided as a single number. In any case, remember: the total
weight of a fully loaded trailer cannot exceed the stated GVWR.
For trailers with living quarters installed, the weight of water and propane
also need to be considered. The weight of fully filled propane containers is
considered part of the weight of the trailer before it is loaded with cargo, and
is not considered part of the disposable cargo load. Water however, is a
disposable cargo weight and is treated as such. If there were a fresh water
