What is the maximum weight capacity for the VPT-240SE?

boat operator should never take a boat on the water with too many people or too much gear on board. Boats loaded beyond their capacity will swamp or capsize more easily and will be more difficult to control.

• Look for a capacity plate near the operator's position or on the transom of the boat. This plate indicates the maximum weight capacity and/or the maximum number of people that the boat can carry safely in good weather.
  • You should not exceed eitherthe stated maximum weight capacity or the maximum number of people.
  • Maximum weight is the combined weight of passengers, gear, and motors.
  • In many states, it is a violation to exceed capacity.
• Federal law requires single-hull boats less than 20 feet in length to have a capacity plate. (However, PWC and sailboat manufacturers are not required to attach a capacity plate.) Always follow the recommended capacity found in the owner's manual and on the manufacturer's warning decal. Never exceed these capacity recommendations.

Example of a Capacity Plate Although federal law requires capacity plates only on boats less than 20 feet in length, the National Marine Manufacturers Association (NMMA) requires a capacity plate on all boats less than 26 feet in order to be certified by NMMA.
Maximum Capacity Plate Calculating Your Boat's Capacity On boats less than 20 feet in length with no capacity plate, use the following rule of thumb to calculate the number of persons (weighing 150 lbs. each, on average) the vessel can carry safely in good weather conditions.
Number of people = vessel length (ft.) x vessel width (ft.) ÷ 15
For example, for a vessel 18 feet long by 6 feet wide, the number of persons is 18 times 6 (or 108) divided by 15, which equals seven 150-lb. persons (or a total person weight of 7 x 150, or 1050 lbs.).

The answer is all down to three things.
-What the fully loaded weight of the caravan is.
-What the maximum towing capacity of the Suzuki is.
-What the maximum ball weight is.
Some websites quote the 2006-2008 Suzuki model as able to tow 2 metric tonnes, (4409lbs) with a maximum ball weight of 75kg.
There should be a compliance data plate on the caravan to give you the weight figures.
hope this helps

Which cab design do you have? The two door cab has a 7,050 lb. maximum towing capacity. The four door cab has a 4,400 lb. maximum tow capacity. The information for towing can be hard to understand. Know that the more weight you place inside the bed, the less weight you can place inside the trailer. It is a balancing act and there is a difference between pull weight and load weight. Also keep in mind weight shift and how important it is that the trailer tongue is level (For braking). The front and rear axle weights are on the driver's door jam. Any questions please write back.

Definitive answer should be found in the vehicle handbook. There can be regional variations so looking in the book or checking with the dealer is best though sometimes there is an embossed plate riveted into a door shut or similar listing the maximum gross axle weights, gross vehicle weight and train weight.

In some parts of the world the carrying capacity means nothing and it is the maximum gross weight that must not be exceeded.

There is no maximum passenger weight capacity listed in the owners manual for my Boulevard S-50, and no maximum passenger weight capacity for the Marauder 800 (which is almost exactly the same bike) listed anywhere that I can find on the internet. The front and rear springs are adjustable for passenger weight, but I would suggest the maximum weight is limited by the rear tire capacity stamped on the sidewall and what weight you feel comfortable handling. Don't forget to include the weight of the motorcycle (about 456 pounds) and the weight of the gasoline (about 6.0 pounds per gallon).

As I answered to the same question posted by G. Moore:

"There is no maximum passenger weight capacity listed in the owners manual for my Boulevard S-50, and no maximum passenger weight capacity for the Marauder 800 (which is almost exactly the same bike) listed anywhere that I can find on the internet.

Towing capacity:
454 kg (1000 lb.)
Towing capacity means the maximum
gross trailer weight (trailer
weight plus its cargo weight) that
your vehicle is able to tow

Directly from the Toyota Spec Book:

Maximum trailer weight: 1,500 lbs
Maximum tongue weight: 150 lbs

After considering the application work, determine the carrier on which the breaker will be installed. Gorilla Hammers has assigned a 'Recommended Carrier Weight' range to each breaker. If the operating weight of the carrier falls within this range, the carrier will safely handle this model of breaker. If the desired breaker falls outside of this recommended carrier weight range, the carriers lifting capacity and oil flow will need to be verified to ensure a proper fit. Lifting Capacity: Provided the weight of the breaker does not exceed the maximum lifting capacity at any position, the carrier is assumed to be stable. On most loader backhoes and excavators, the maximum lifting capacity is lowest when the boom is at full reach. This is the value that must be compared to the operating weight of the breaker. Oil Flow and Operating Pressure: A required oil flow range is specified for each breaker. Oil flow to the breaker within this range is adequate for operation. However, for maximum productivity the carrier should be capable of providing the maximum required flow. Compare the maximum oil flow requirement of the breaker with the oil flow capacity of the carrier. Remember the breaker operates at 1500-2500-psi. therefore, oil flow should be evaluated at operating pressure.
