Example 1B
For example, if a person weighing 176
lbs (80 kg) now enters the same vehi-
cle (bringing the number of occupants
to two), the calculations are as fol-
lows:
1. Calculate the total weight.
Total weight
= 154 lbs (70 kg) + 176 lbs (80 kg)
(Occupant)
+ 662 lbs (300 kg)
(Cargo)
= 992 lbs (450 kg)
2. Calculate the available load capac-
ity.
3. The total weight now exceeds the
capacity weight by 92 lbs (42 kg), so
the cargo weight must be reduced by
D00107
92 lbs (42 kg) or more.
Example 2A
Vehicle capacity weight of the vehicle
is 900 lbs (408 kg), which is indicated
Consumer information and Reporting safety defects
on the vehicle placard with the state-
ment "The combined weight of occu-
pants and cargo should never exceed
408 kg or 900 lbs".
For example, the vehicle has one oc-
cupant weighing 165 lbs (75 kg) plus
cargo weighing 375 lbs (170 kg). In
addition, the vehicle is fitted with a
trailer hitch weighing 22 lbs (10 kg), to
which is attached a trailer weighing
1,764 lbs (800 kg). 10% of the trailer
weight is applied to the trailer tongue
(i.e. Tongue load = 176 lbs (80 kg)).
1. Calculate the total weight.
Total weight
= 165 lbs (75 kg) + 375 lbs (170 kg)
(Occupant)
+ 22 lbs (10 kg) + 176 lbs (80 kg)
(Trailer hitch)
= 738 lbs (335 kg)
2. Calculate the available load capac-

ity.
