What is the maximum weight allowed for the main door with four passengers and the wheel on the ground?

• A. 1000 pounds
• B. 500 pounds
• C. 1500 pounds
• D. 1200 pounds

Answer: (A)

Door load ratings tell you how much weight the door, its hinges, and frame can safely carry in a given setup. When four passengers are on the door and a wheel is on the ground, the door must support the combined load of people and equipment. The rated limit for this configuration is 1000 pounds, so that is the safe maximum. Going beyond this weight risks overstressing the door and its hardware, potentially causing damage or failure. The other options don’t reflect the actual rated capacity for this arrangement.
