VEHICLE WEIGHTS AND PAYLOAD

When loading a vehicle to its maximum (Gross Vehicle Weight), 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 Gross Vehicle Weight are exceeded.
