Note
The front axle of the vehicle must always be loaded with at least
30% of the net weight of the vehicle, and the rear axle must al-
ways be loaded with at least 30% of the net weight of the vehicle.
Before purchasing the attachment, check that these require-
ments are met by weighing the vehicle-attachment combination.
The following data is required for determining the total weight, the
axle loads, the tyre loading capacity and the required minimum
ballast:
● All weights in kg (weigh the vehicle if necessary)
● All dimensions in meters (m)
TL (kg) = Net weight of the vehicle
TV (kg) = Front axle load of the empty vehicle
TH (kg) = Rear axle load of the empty vehicle
GH (kg) = Total weight rear attachment / rear ballast **
GV (kg) = Total weight of front attachment / front bal-
last
a (m) = Distance between front attachment (front
ballast) centre of gravity and middle of front
axle, max. = 0.86 m
b (m) = Wheelbase of the vehicle
c (m) = 0.56
d (m) = Distance between the centre of the equip-
ment-side attachment point and the centre
of gravity of the rear attachment / rear bal-
last
