Capacities & weight Distribution
Cargo weigHt DiStribution
• It is extremely important to never exceed the maximum
cargo capacity.
• Maximum cargo capacities are for evenly distributed loads
which place the majority of the cargo’s weight directly
over both wheels evenly. A good example of this would be
hauling several sheets of plywood.
• Loads should also be placed to distribute equal weight to
both tires. This will balance your load and give you the
best wear on your tires.
• Never place more than 50% of the total cargo capacity on
one side of the trailer.

tongue weigHt CapaCitY
• It is extremely important to never exceed the maximum
tongue weight capacity. Over loading the tongue could
cause it to bend or break. A broken tongue could cause a
serious or fatal accident.
• Loads should be placed on the trailer so that proper weight
is applied to the tongue. The ideal tongue weight should be
6% of the cargo weight but never over 125 lbs. Increase or
decrease the tongue weight by moving the load forward or
backward.
• 125 pounds is generally easy to lift for most people. It is
the users responsibility to understand what 125 pounds or
less is.
SECURinG TOnGUE jACk
