ATM and GTM
The maximum weight of a trailer is specified as either its Aggregate Trailer Mass (ATM) or Gross Trailer Mass (GTM).
ATM is the combined weight of the trailer and its full load when it is not coupled to a tow vehicle. GTM is the weight of the fully loaded trailer that is imposed o the trailers axle when it is coupled to the tow vehicle. GTM will always be less than ATM as some of the trailer weight is transferred to the tow vehicle when the trailer is coupled to it.
All new vehicles built since August 1989 are required to have a plate listing, amongst other things, the trailers Aggregate Trailer Mass, although some trailer plates will also show its Tare weight (the unladen weight of the trailer) and its GTM.
You must ensure the towing vehicle has sufficient capacity to tow the trailer when it is fully laden.
GCVM
Gross Combination Vehicle Mass (where given) is the maximum allowable weight of the trailer, tow vehicle and the load in the tow vehicle and trailer (including passengers).
