Consumer information and Reporting safety defects Example 2A the trailer tongue (i.e. Tongue load = 176 lbs (80 kg)). 1. Calculate the total weight. Total weight = 165 lbs (75 kg) + 265 lbs (120 kg) (Occupant) (Cargo) + 22 lbs (10 kg) + 176 lbs (80 kg) (Tongue load) (Trailer hitch) UBD006BA = 628 lbs (285 kg) 2. Calculate the available load capacity. Vehicle capacity weight of the vehicle is 800 lbs (363 kg), which is indicated on the vehicle placard with the statement "The combined weight of occupants and cargo should never exceed 363 kg or 800 lbs". For example, the vehicle has one occupant weighing 165 lbs (75 kg) plus cargo weighing 265 lbs (120 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 (800kg). 10% of the trailer weight is applied to Available Load Capacity = 800 lbs (363 kg) - 628 lbs (285 kg) (Total weight) (Vehicle capacity weight) = 172 lbs (78 kg) 3. The result of step 2 shows that a further 172 lbs (78 kg) of cargo can be carried. - CONTINUED - 13-11
