[QUOTE="Ridge Runner, post: 616074, member: 3775"] If your Trailer weighs 400kg empty and it can gross 750kg means you can carry 350kgs, If your Tow Vehicle can carry 500kgs, Then Take 10% of the Trailers weight = 75kgs to allow for the Tow Ball weight or Hitch weight and deduct that from your Tow vehicles load weight,, So 500kgs -75kgs = 425kgs is all you can put in the back of the Tow Vehicle, So The Trailer can Carry 350kgs add that to the 425kgs gives you a total Load weight of 775kgs, the Axle Rating of the Trailer is what dictates the Trailers Load rating, The brakes are more about stopping the Trailer from pushing the Car/Vehicle.
