2.2 One-sided weight distribution
Under no circumstances should
- permissible overall weight
- permissible front axle load
- permissible rear axle load
be exceeded.
When drawing up plans for installations, ensure that one-sided weight distribution is avoided, in particular with permanently installed installations.
If this cannot be avoided, the one-sided maximum wheel load must not deviate by more than 4% of the theoretical maximum wheel load. The permissible axle load must be adhered to.
Example:
Perm. axle load | 1.200 kg |
Theor. wheel load, left/right | 600 kg/600 kg |
4% of this wheel load | 24 kg |
Perm. wheel load distr. left/right | 576 kg/624 kg |
To guarantee an acceptable level of steerability of the vehicle and to assure satisfactory road handling in all load conditions, the minimum front axle load should be 780 kg.
