Understanding Weight Ratings And Dump Trailers

by Brittney H. Mittchell

When loading up dump trailers, owners should know how much weight is permitted to be loaded and hauled. To protect the trailer and the hitch, it's necessary not to go over these weights. Every type of trailer has a tag that provides information about the weight requirements of the particular trailer. Before the first use and periodically thereafter, owners should review this information.

The tag always includes information on the GVWR and GAWR as well as the unloaded weight of the trailer. The GVWR is the gross vehicle weight rating and is the total amount of weight of the trailer when loaded. Owners should keep in mind that the weight of the trailer itself is included in the GVWR and so the maximum load that can be put in the trailer is the GVWR minus the weight of the trailer. For dump trailers, this is particularly important to keep in mind as dump trailers can be made of very solid construction which makes them heavier than other types of trailers.

For trailer owners of all types, GAWR is also a consideration during loading. GAWR is the gross axle weight rating which is the largest amount of weight that any single axle should have on it. For those trailers that feature two or more axles, the GAWR is much more important than it is for owners of single axle trailers. Careful weight distribution on the axles is of the utmost importance when loading. Many times individual axles have different weight ratings, so an owner should consult the tags to ensure that the trailer is being loaded properly.

Axle rating information and weight information is also provided on motorcycle trailers. Just as with dump trailers, owners of these types of trailers should read the weight information and load their trailers accordingly. Side to side balance and front to back balance over the axles is important for these kinds of trailers to protect the motorcycles. This will ensure the smoothest ride for both dump and motorcycle trailers.

Referring to the weight rating of the trailer is of paramount importance when loading any type of trailer, including dump and motorcycle trailers. Going over the weight rating can be dangerous and could even cause damage to the trailer or the hitch. The best way to make sure that a trailer is loaded correctly is to load it and then take it to a commercial scale where it can be professional weighed. The scales are extremely accurate and give owners the best method to determine the trailer's gross vehicle weight.
