What does gross mass mean?

In Physics "Mass" and "Weight" are different terms. Mass is a measurement of the amount of matter something contains, while Weight is the measurement of the pull of gravity on an object. Near the surface of the Earth, the acceleration due to gravity is approximately constant; this means that an object's weight is roughly proportional to its mass. So "Gross Mass" and "Gross Weigth" is the same, its just a matter what to use to express a unit of mesurement.


The door jam says 2850 pounds what does that mean?

it means that the weight of the car on the front axle is 2,850 lbs. one ton is 2000 lbs. so just the front of the vehicle weighs approx. 1 3/8 tons. this is the GAWR FRONT. Gross Axle Weight Rating only for the front ov the vehicle. there is also a GAWR REAR. Gross Axle Weight Rating only for the rear of the vehicle. GAWR Front 2850 lbs. GAWR Rear 2850 lbs. add these together and the total weight is 5,700 lbs unloaded, with cargo or people ect. so the tonage equals approx. 2 7/8 tons. when toeing a vehicle or loading one its better to err on the side of safety. so figure 3 to 3 1/2 tons or 6,500 lbs. weight rating. remember to always have a certified person double check your weights two heads are better than one.
