Asking for a mate at work - what is the load imposed on a laded and empty 44t vehicle through the drive axel.
Depends of a few things but in very general terms I’d expect to see around 10 tonnes on the drive axle if I was fully freighted, around 6 tonnes empty and 3.2 tonnes running tractor unit only.
Thanks Harry
When i’m loaded it usually varies between 9600 to 10200, empty around 4 to 4500 depending on whether the trailer has a lifting front axle.
