Attic truss's

[6togo]

Anyone here save with reading load rating on truss plans trying to figure out what real weights my trusses will take and the company that made them is out of business. They originally told Standard load rating but whats that mean? Here is a copy of the plans if anyone can spell them out for me. I basically want to finish the attic area with drywall and LVP flooring over the 3/4" T/G plywood thats down already but dont want to over load it. My goal was to put a Tv and maybe some light furniture or a work bench up there with some light storage.

Lower left corner says 40psf live load in the attic room, with 10 psi dead load.

and 10 psf ceiling

You are fine with that, it's designed for a living space up there.

My shop had attic trusses as well and with a 30’ span the top area was 7x8’. I did not put a staircase in as it would have taken to much room. I pit in a Liftmaster 300# folding ladder between the 24” OC trusses. It was a pita but I used it for storage only and it was a valuable space. I put a winch up at the peak and cut a 4’ section of the ceiling drywall. I was limited to a 22.5”x48” access hole, but again for my light storage usage it was adequate.

Am I misinterpreting? Shouldnt the loads actually max at .75 of the above?

I think it is based on the improbability of max live loads on both bottom chord and top chord. So don't schedule a disco party during hundred year snow storm.
