5360 kg This is Gross train weight. (Laden car + laden Trailer)

1 1160 kg Maximum permitted axle load of Mav on Front axle

2 1140 kg Maximum permitted axle load of Mav on Rear axle


If you subtract the Gross Vehicle weight from the Gross train weight, you will get the maximum towing weight.


5360 kg - 2580 kg = 2780 kg
My maximum gross weight for my trailer is 2500 kg so my set up is totally legal.

Looks like the right conclusion but theres no way 1160 + 1140 = 2580
