    Driving modes 6.2 Weighing the truck crane Weighing the truck crane Weighing error The most precise method for determining the total weight of the GMK6300L is too use calibrated scales of appropriate capacity and a weighbridge on which all the wheels of the truck crane can stand at the same time. All other weighing procedures are subject to various factors which can lead to weighing errors.
  • Page 280 Driving modes 6.2 Weighing the truck crane – Determining the axle loads All the axle lines belonging to an axle group must always be weighed. In addition, all the wheels must be on the same level. If, for instance, only the axle group A1 is to be weighed, then the axle groups A2 and A3 must be equalised on a support plate U which has the same height as the scales W1 and W2.
  • Page 281 Driving modes 6.2 Weighing the truck crane Weighing procedure Perform the weighing procedure only with the crane truck standing on solid and horizontal ground! All scales must be at the same height! • Position the scales W1 to W6 (or the necessary support plate) directly in front of the truck crane, so that the distances between the scales are exactly the same as the distances between the axle groups 1 to 3.
