Now this is a long shot , but i'm hoping someone maybe able help me decipher a weight plate fitted to my Hymer . Now the vehicle is an A class 584 Hymer , 2000 build , to which the vehicle is fitted with a "Alfred Wein" slide under rear carrier , for additional luggage . The rack i presume is meant for the carrage of items along the lines of push bike's . However the fitted plate's maximum loading , indicates it may be possible to carry a light motorcycle instead . The problem is the plate is a stick on , and written in german , of which , as i'm sure you can guess by now , i don't speak , and the weight limits are a little confusing . The other problem is the plate is 23 years old , and not in particularly good condition either , so i really want to replace it , but i need to check my assumptions first .
Okay , so along with the serial number , it lists "Ges belast" , which according to google , translates to total load , with the figures 150 (100) kg .
I'm guessing the 150 is the actual value in kgs , as both of these are unbracketed , but i can't figure out what the bracketed value is indicating . It doesn't convert to any english weight , that would correspond with 150kgs , either way , so i'm left with a value i don't understand .
The second query is "Einzel bel" , with the value of 90 (74) kg . Google struggles to translate this , suggesting single bel , what ever that means , and yet again i have another bracketed figure . Now logic leads me to suspect this could be something to do with the actual support arms . There are 2 , so maybe it's some kind of maximum loading to each of these . Adding the values of both arms together , brings a figure in excess of the total load , at 180 kgs , so this maybe some kind of safety margin .
I would appreciate you guy's view on this , and maybe we have a German friend who can fully translate the script better . I say German because the plate also carries 88326 , which i assume is a model number , but could be some kind of area code . Along with Aulendorf , which appears to be a town in the Ravensburgh district of Germany . Approximately 20 km north west of Bad Waldsee , Germany , the original home of the Hymer factory .
Any takers .
By the way , the motorcycle concerned only comes close to one of these figures at 72 kg , so well under both maximum loading figures . I mainly want to get my fact straight to replace the plate fitted .
