Hi folks, I’ve been asked to be a TM for a small Operator with 2 rigids Hiabs, one is 18 T the other is 25 T with a mid-lift axel on contract lease…
How do I calculate the axel weights Re overloading? Do I ask the the truck contract provider or add the weight of the front crane and subtract from the plated front axel weight. Eg if the payload is 9T then front axel minus crane weight (2 T approx) which leaves a front axel allowance of roughly 2.5 T.
Does this sound correct?
Thanks in advance and apologies as I want to get this right…
The plated weight is what is allowed. Take to a dynamic weighbridge and find the actual axle weights. Then you’ll know what can be loaded across the veh.
Dm if you wanted more info
