| Class | Clears required up to | Typical fit | Trade-off |
|---|---|---|---|
| 6 ton (13,228 lb) | 13,228 lb required | Light trucks / SUVs landing under 13,228 after GVWR × 0.75 | Too light for many medium-duty screens |
| 12 ton (26,456 lb) | 26,456 lb required | Heavier pickups / equipment that clear 13,228 but stay under 26,456 | Still short of very heavy HD screening loads |
| 20 ton (44,092 lb) | 44,092 lb required | HD loads whose 3/4 GVWR exceeds 26,456 but stays ≤ 44,092 | Verify live listing; above this ceiling → NO_MATCH |
| NO_MATCH (above 44.1k) | >44,092 lb required | Loads whose required capacity exceeds this ladder | Do not force a 20 ton class — size up or use shop/professional equipment |
