Without actually looking at the website (oh, come on, I can't. Really!). The figures will represent the limiting Take-off weights for that runway. You'll either be limited by field length (TORA, TODA etc), climb performance (Net Path Gradients) or obstacles (if any exist for that runway). The lower figure will then be used for working out the rest of your take-off performance figures, including derates etc.
