Interpreting a weight plate
Discussion
Anyone able to help me interpret the numbers on this weight plate please?
T-1, T-2 and T-3 are all the same, but curious as to what they could be.
B-1, B-2 and B-3 are obviously different so of more relevance.
Then there is A-1 and A-2 and the 'orphaned' 11,000 kg above
This is a sample photo culled from the web for a JCB 538-70 telehandler / loadall.
Google / AI is not being exactly conclusive, and I figure that this coding must be standard somewhere so that VOSA inspectors can interpret it at a glance. My best guess is that B-3 is Maximum Train Weight, but that seems high for a vehicle that itself is only 8.5 tonnes.
Any pointers much appreciated....

Just found another one from the same dealer in the Netherlands that appears to make more sense;
With some possibly recognisable weights there - 750 kg = unbraked trailer, 3,500 kg = overrun braked trailer, 15,550 kg = hydraulically braked trailer??
But struggling to understand why the bigger and heavier 560 seems to have less towing capacity than the lighter 538!
