LOADING THE TRAILER
A. Distribute the weight evenly on the bed of the trailer.
B. Center the load over the axle, keeping about 10% of the weight on the tongue.
C. Center the load from side to side.
D. Always secure your cargo into the trailer properly and in compliance to local laws.
CAUTION: Do not build your trailer load higher than 3’. Higher loading will affect trailer
handling due to increased wind resistance. This may cause violent movements, accidents and
serious injury.
TRAILER CAPACITY
Locate the statement, “The weight of cargo should never exceed XXX kg or XXX lbs.,” on
your vehicle’s placard. This figure equals the available amount of cargo and luggage load
capacity.
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.
The trailer’s placard refers to the Tire Information Placard attached adjacent to or near the
trailer’s VIN (Certification) label at the left front of the trailer.
Never overload your trailer. Each trailer has a maximum payload that should not be
exceeded. Overloading your trailer could cause serious damage to your trailer as well as the
towing vehicle. Please refer to your trailer serial / certification label located on the frame of
the trailer for capacity details. The Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (G.V.W.R.) is XXX lbs. is
located on your VIN tag. The G.V.W.R. is the Weight of the trailer + The Maximum payload
the trailer can carry. The trailer weight and the payload must not exceed this (G.V.W.R.)
weight rating.
Be sure that any load carried in your trailer does not extend beyond the frame of your trailer.
Never place loads on one side only.
TONGUE WEIGHT
The tongue weight is 10% of the load (this does not include the weight of the trailer).
The load is divided so that 90% of the load is over the axle and 10% is over the tongue.
