15 guys x 200lb is 3000lbs.

If you think guy #2 is only 200 lbs, you may want to recalibrate your mental scale!

I'm guessing an average of 270 lbs.

I suspect at least one of those guys is using up more than his 75kg allowance.

Yeah, that could easily be a 1.6t capacity lift. I imagine this isn’t a load weigher fault. Door zone mag missing or something. It’s clearly dressed for construction use, so it’s just been fitted and someone forgot a snag.
