kilograms), the calculation would be: 1400 - (2 x
220) - (12 x 100) = 1400 - 440 - 1200 = - 240 pounds.
No, you do not have enough cargo capacity to carry
that much weight. In metric units, the calculation
would be: 635 kilograms - (2 x 99 kilograms) - (12
x 45 kilograms) = 635 - 198 - 540 = -103 kilograms.
You will need to reduce the load weight by at least
240 pounds (104 kilograms). If you remove three
100-pound (45-kilogram) cement bags, then the load
calculation would be:1400 - (2 x 220) - (9 x 100) =
1400 - 440 - 900 = 60 pounds. Now you have the
load capacity to transport the cement and your friend
home. In metric units, the calculation would be: 635
kilograms - (2 x 99 kilograms) - (9 x 45 kilograms) =
635 - 198 - 405 = 32 kilograms.
The above calculations also assume
that the
loads are positioned in your vehicle in a manner that
does not overload the Front or the Rear Gross Axle
Weight Rating specified for your vehicle on the Safety
Compliance Certification Label. The label shall be
affixed to either the door hinge pillar, door-latch post,
or the door edge that meets the door-latch post, next
to the driver’s seating position.
