1 ton = 1 000 kg so 0.126 tons × 1 000 kg/t = 126 kg

We have a load of 126 kg and a floor limit of 70 kg / m². We will need more than a square metre, but less than 2 m² (2 x 70 = 140, and we only have 126 kg)

Before touching the calculator, look at the answers:

• 8.82 m² - looks much too big an area.
• 0.21 m² - under a square metre, too small.
• 0.56 m² - under a square metre, too small.
• 1.80 m² - looks likely so now check on the calculator:

126 / 70 = 1.8 m²
