LittleGiant Trailer™ Safe Use & Operation Be sure to follow these guidelines to prevent possible hazards from misuse. Do NOT exceed the trailer’s maximum load weight capacity of 1,500 lbs. or exceed the trailer’s bed size. The Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (G.V.W.R.) for the LittleGiant™ Trailer is 1,920 lbs, and is calculated as follows: The Empty Weight of the Trailer (420 lbs) + the maximum payload the trailer can carry (1,500 lbs) = 1,920 lbs G.V.W.R. 2.
LittleGiant Trailer™ Steps for Determining Correct Load Limit (1) Locate the statement “The weight of cargo should never exceed XXX kg or XXX lbs” on your vehicle’s placard. (2) This figure equals the available amount of cargo and luggage load capacity. (3) Determine the combined weight of luggage and cargo being loaded on the vehicle. That weight may not safely exceed the available cargo and luggage load capacity.
