What happens here

Drive the loaded dual hoist trailer onto a truck scale. Disconnect the gooseneck hitch from the truck's bed to allow the scale to measure only the trailer's weight. Record the total weight displayed on the scale. Subtract the empty weight of the trailer (6,000 lbs, higher due to the dual hoist) to determine the actual load capacity of the dual hoist system. The scale reads 36,900 lbs, meaning the actual load lifted was approximately 31,000 lbs.

Goal: Quantify the maximum load the dual hoist can lift
