EXAMPLE: Tank under generator or separate |
| 100 kW Diesel
GenSet with enclosure weighs 1,476 lbs |
|
Fuel tank is
175 gallons and weighs 1006 lbs empty |
| Fuel weight
is 175 times 7.2 (from chart above) equals 1260 lbs |
|
GenSet +
Tank Weight +
Fuel Weight =
Payload + any other additional weights to be carried on the
trailer. |
|
1,476 +
1006 +
1260 = 3,742 |
| Go down the
PAYLOAD column (column 5) on the
Trailers Without Tanks chart. |
| Since the
GenSet and the tank are NOT part of the trailer we
will look for a Flat Bed trailer. |
| The first
Flat bed trailer on the chart that is larger than the 3,742
payload is GJTR-5 FB. This is the one to select. |

EXAMPLE: Tank built into the trailer. |
| 100 kW Diesel
GenSet with enclosure weighs 1,476 lbs |
| Fuel tank is
built into the trailer is 170 gallons |
| Fuel weight
is 175 times 7.2 (from chart above) equals 1260 lbs |
|
GenSet
+ Fuel Weight =
Payload + any other additional weights to be carried
on the trailer. |
|
1,476 +
1260 = 2,736 |
| Since the
GenSet and the tank ARE part of the trailer go to the
Trailers With Built In Fuel Tanks chart and see the size
column (column 2). |
| The first
trailer with a 170 gallon tank is GJTR-7 170.
Look at the payload for this trailer and it shows 3,634. |
| We needed
2,736 lbs in this example. Since 3,634 is larger the
GJTR-7 170 is one to select. |
