| 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. |
