I somehow doubt that the traffic sign specifies the maximum actual
weight, most likely it sets the maximum permitted weight of the
vehicle at full load, as specified by the manufacturer.
In my country the signs specify the maximum weight that is permitted on
the way (usually a bridge).
It has nothing to do with the vehicle specification.
The sign is there to stop the destruction of the way through overloading
the structure, thus an unload hgv may meet the required weight limit and
use the way, but when loaded exceed the weigh limit and not be able to
use the same way.
For manufactures weigh limits in OSM see maxweightrating

----------------------------
For a traffic sign "maxweight x tons except for bus"' situation the wiki
is, for once, fairly clear
maxweight=x (where x is the relevant number with any units applicable)
maxweight:conditional=none @ bus
The above assumes a bus is permitted.. (I find that a problem myself) if
a bus is not permitted (I think this would be more typical?) then
bus=no
maxweight=x (where x is the relevant number with any units applicable)
