Using Dynamic Load Information

Many equipment manufacturers provide support reactions where they give a static load and a dynamic load.  How do you incorporate the dynamic load information into load cases?  For example, a manufacturer simply says you have a static load of 15,000 lb and a dynamic load of 4,000 lb.  What would be the total load that you design for?

 

Thanks
