Hello All,

I found a transcript of a Manufacturer's Plate that may have been off my truck. It was written down years ago along with the plates from other trucks I found in a truck parts yard 5 hours drive from home. So the following transcript might not be the right one.

Anyway - do the following figures sound correct? Apologies for the following all caps...

CHASSIS: 5200
MAXIMUM WEIGHT IN POUNDS: 3400 ??
GROSS WEIGHT: see note 11500
MAXIMUM ALLOWABLE GROSS WEIGHT INCLUDES CHASSIS BODY AND ALL LOADS AND IS SUBJECT TO THE UNIT BEING EQUIPPED WITH WHEEL AND TYRE EQUIPMENT OF ADEQUATE CARRYING CAPACITY

I am not sure what the Chassis 5200 refers to?
The writing after Maximum Weight in Pounds of 3400 was illegible - any idea what it may have been?

According to an online conversion 3400 Pounds equals 1.5178571428571428 Long Tons or 1.5 Ton... so a 30 CWT carrying capacity.

The Gross Weight of 11500 pounds according to the same converter is 5.133928571428571 Long Ton. I wonder if I wrote poundage down correctly at the time?

It is a shame that the plate did not mention TARE or Curb Weight.

Kind regards
Lionel
