INTRODUCTION PRELIMINAR STUDIES AND CONSIDERATIONS
MOUNTING AND CONSTRUCTION
Minimum load on the front axle:
As a rule, unless otherwise specified, to ensure proper steerability of the vehicle in
all road surface conditions, the load on the front axle must be at least 30 % of the
total weight of the vehicle in any loading condition and for vehicle type M2, and
25 % of the total weight of the vehicle in any loading condition and for vehicle
type N1 to N3.

Load capacities according to vehicle model
It is very important not to exceed the load capacity of the vehicle after construction
work on the body. In all load situations, the permissible axle loads should be consid-
ered. The values depend on the type of vehicle.
The maximum permissible axle loads should be complied with at all times. Failure
to meet these requirements can cause the malfunction of the vehicle's systems
and lack of stability. This could produce an accident, causing injury to people or
damage to the vehicle itself.
At all times, bear in mind the load capacity of the tyre, which must never be
exceeded. If it is, the tyre could suffer a blowout, which would cause loss of vehi-
cle control. This could result in an accident, causing injury to people or damage to
the vehicle itself.
More information on the characteristics of the tyres can be obtained from the
technical specifications of the vehicle or from the tyre manufacturers themselves.
