There is a plate fitted near the tail-lift controls giving maximum weights. How does George know which weight is applicable?

Explanation: • The lowest weight will always apply: No, it will vary.
• The highest weight will always apply: No, it will vary dependent on a certain factor.
• It will be found in the vehicle handbook: No. The vehicle handbook will have been supplied with the base vehicle before the body or the tail-lift have been fitted. It will not cover this type of ancillary equipment.
• The plate will show the maximum weight at the appropriate load centre point: Yes, this will be shown in diagrammatic form on the plate with appropriate measurements.
