Weight Capacity Explained

This trailer has a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) of 14,000 lbs, including the trailer itself and everything loaded onto it.

Maximum Loaded Trailer Weight: 14,000 lbs

Manufacturer Shipping Weight: 2,440 lbs

Calculated Cargo Capacity: 11,560 lbs

The calculated cargo capacity is determined by subtracting the manufacturer's listed shipping weight from the trailer's GVWR. The actual available payload may differ depending on the trailer's current empty weight, installed accessories, and equipment.

Important: Drive-over fenders provide additional loading clearance but do not increase the trailer's GVWR or payload capacity. Vehicle width, tire placement, and loading clearance must be checked before loading.
