The second site listed the following as example loads:

1. 130 voll bewaffnete und aufmunitionierte Soldaten mit Handfeuerwaffen,
(130 men with small arms)

2. eine 8,8 cm Kanone mit schwerem Halbkettenfahrzeug „Famo“, Munition und Bedienungspersonal,
(An 88mm Flak gun with its half-track tow vehicle, ammunition and crew)

3. ein Panzerkampfwagen II, III oder IV, Munition und Bedienungspersonal,
(One Pz II, III or IV with ammunition and crew)

4. ein Sturmgeschütz, Munition und Bedienungspersonal.
(One Stg III with ammo and crew)

At least according to the weight loading schedules I've seen the 232 likely could have taken an early model Pz IV as a load. It would no doubt have been a scary ride. But, loading was actually fairly easy to correctly accomplish. The 232 'sat back' with its front wheels off the ground when empty. When proper loading was obtained it rocked forward and sat squarely and equally on all landing wheels.
