2.2 Single-Sided Weight Distribution

The weights must never exceed the

  • permissible total weight
  • permissible front axle load
  • permissible rear axle load.

When projecting attachments, it has to be ensured that a single-sided weight distribution is avoided - in particular if fixed attachments are to be installed. If it is not possible to adhere to this recommendation, the single-sided load may only result in a maximum difference between the wheel loads of 8%.

Note:
Observe the tyre load-carrying capacity!

Example:

 


Permitted axle load

2.000 kg


theoretical wheel load left/right

1.000/1.000 kg


4% of this wheel load

40 kg


Permitted wheel load distribution left/right 

 1.040 kg/960 kg
