The GVM is the Gross Vehicle Mass of the trailer, this is the legal allowed towing weight of the trailer including the load. If a trailer has a GVM of 1000kgs this means the trailer and the load is only allowed to weigh 1000kgs and no more.
What is load capacity and how is it calculated?
The load capacity of a trailer is the weight you can put on the trailer This is calculate as follows: if the weight of the trailer is 500kgs and the GVM is 1000kgs, the load capacity of the trailer is 500kgs, GVM minus trailer weight = load capacity
