4.2 Weight distribution, CoG height, anti-roll bars
4.2.1
Weight distribution
Avoid one-sided or laterally asymmetric weight
distribution.
The wheel load (1/2 the axle load) may be exceeded
by no more than 4%. Observe the tire load capacity.
Example:
• Permissible axle load 5,000 kg {11020 lb}
• Permissible wheel load distribution 2,600 kg to
2,400 kg {5730 lb to 5290 lb }
4.2.2
CoG height
Body/equipment manufacturer must calculate the
vertical center of gravity, as measured from ground,
for the completed and loaded vehicle. The provided
maximum vertical center of gravity for the relevant
chassis model cannot be exceeded under any
operating condition.
MITSUBISHI FUSO cannot vouch for the handling,
braking and steering characteristics of vehicles with
attachments, installations or modifications for
payloads with centers of gravity that violate
prescribed limits (e.g. rear-mounted. overheight and
side-mounted loads). The vehicle body/equipment
manufacturer/converter is responsible for the safety
of the vehicle in the all cases.
4.2.3
Stabilizers roll control
Make sure that the vehicle you are building is correctly
equipped. NAFTA provides stabilizers as factory
equipment for different model series, and does not
offer optional stabilizers for any model.

Risk of accident
The body must be designed in such a way that
placement of excessive load weight at the rear is
prevented. It is important to comply with the points
listed below, otherwise the necessary steering and
braking forces for safe vehicle operation cannot be
transferred to the road.
