Plated weight, if you've got an A frame on a car hitched up and say the car for arguments sake had a gross weight of 2ton but actually weighed 1.5 tons including the frame and you plated the A frame as 1.5 ton, is that legal, notion being if the car plus A frame is regarded as a trailor as long as the frames plated and the 'trailor' doesn't exceed the plated weight.....?
My take on that from what I have gleaned from VOSA is that the tow gear must relate to the weight involved, they are always working on the gross possible weight so although you are only on the road @ 1.5 tonnes you could be at 2 tonnes - to give you an example a farmer on Exmoor the other day was given an £800 fine for a technical overload towing an empty 3.5 tonne trailer with a L200 truck - both were empty the truck had a maximum rated tow of 2.2 tonnes the empty trailer was weighing at 1.1 tonnes - hope this helps
