load limits
Maximum carrying capacities
Load limits are the maximum weights or capacities that structures, vehicles, or systems can safely handle.
Bridges post load limits for trucks.
Elevators display load limits in pounds or kilograms.
Exceeding load limits risks structural failure or mechanical breakdown: The old wooden bridge had a load limit of five tons.
