2.2 Single-Sided Weight Distribution

The weights must never exceed the

  • permissible total weight
  • permitted front-axle weight
  • permitted rear-axle weight.

When projecting attachments/upgrades, 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 4%.

Example:

Permitted axle load

1.430 kg

Theoretical wheel load left/right

715 kg/715 kg

4% of this wheel load

29 kg

Permitted wheel load distribution left/right

686 kg/744 kg



To ensure a sufficient manoeuvrability and a satisfying driving behaviour of the vehicle in all loading states, the minimum front-axle load must be 965 kg.
