VEHICLE WEIGHTS AND PAYLOAD
When loading a vehicle to its maximum Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW), consideration must be taken of the unladen vehicle weight and the distribution of the payload to ensure that axle loadings do not exceed the permitted maximum values.
It is the customer’s responsibility to limit the vehicle’s payload in an appropriate manner such that neither maximum axle loads nor GVW are exceeded.
