the frame, it’s year of manufacture, the working load limit (3,000 kg) and the weight of the
unit itself, including all the accessories (shackles, pins and brackets), which is 98 kg.
N.B.: the accessories supplied with the structure are chosen according to the
overall capacity and the resultant stress; so, to establish the capacity, reference
must only be made to the ID plate on the frame, not any marking that may be on
individual accessories.
