Please explain axle loadings...

[Mick Annick]

Don't forget you'll need an operators licence to run at 5.5 tonnes...

We are considering fitting load cells to ALL cargo carrying vans and lorries.

So drivers have no excuse for knowingly overloading/ poorly distributing loads.

Even the 5.2 tonne Iveco.

**********************

Not exactly unrelated, but having witnessed the off road exploits of a transit van legal to tow 1600kg.

Towing a 14' flatbed IW trailer with a 1/2m3 of concrete.

Deposited literally inside/in front of the tail-gate.

Despite being very specifically instructed to ensure it was loaded directly above the twin axles.

The driver said " yes she did feel a bit funny coming down the road"

They never made it past the first bend.

This would be one of the many reasons I can appear judgmental, based on 40 years observations.

OH!

Ps

Answer to origional question.

To allow for some reasonable tolerance in overall load distribution, fore and aft.

Shane not sure if I read your post right as I have had a hard day milling and now into the whiskey bottle

But when was pulled by traffic cops and escorted to local weigh bridge the axle weights are the max however the cops have a 10 percent descreation on not prosecute ing but can't let let u continue on the road

This is my experience

Hope it helps
