RERATING GUIDELINES


What are the maximum rerate limits for an Iron Bull or Norstar trailer?

· Maximum derate amount: 30% of overall GAWR

· Maximum prorate amount: 20% of overall GAWR

· These amounts may not be possible on all trailers depending on the limits of components on your trailer. If the trailer has a 15k bumper pull coupler, we cannot prorate any higher than these limits.


Can a used vehicle be rerated?

· Not by Norstar. Certification and ratings assignment apply only to newly built trailers. Once a trailer has been licensed and titled by an owner in any given U.S. state or sold and delivered to a purchaser at the first retail level in a Canadian province or territory, the certification obligation ends, along with assignment of ratings. 

· Some states do allow rerating vehicles through the local DMV.


Can axles be added to increase GVWR?

· This would be determined on a case-by-case basis. Depending on the build quality of each specific trailer, and what testing each trailer has been through.
