Permitted Implement Weights; Permitted Forces And ......... Torques On The Front Mounting Plate; Front End Dimensions - Unimog U500 Mounting Manuallines

Body and Implement Mounting Guidelines U500 North America
4.13.4 Permitted implement weights; permitted forces and
torques on the front mounting plate
The maximum front implement weight on the Unimog U500NA is
4,409 lbs / 2,000 kg with a 39.37 in / 1 m distance from the cou-
pling level of the front mounting plate. The maximum axle loads
must not be exceeded. In most cases a counterweight on the plat-
form and/or in the rear mounting brackets is necessary. Otherwise
the minimum rear axle load of 41% of the actual GVW will not
achieve.
The maximum off-set front weight (e.g. lateral boom mower
mounted on the front mounting plate) is 3,307 lbs / 1,500 kg at a
7.87 in / 200 mm distance
90.59 in / 2.3 m distance to the center of the vehicle. This means
the maximum torque is 24,965 lb⋅ft / 34 kNm. For torques higher
than 14,751 lb⋅ft / 20 kNm a vehicle roll stabilization is necessary,
see chapter 4.9.5 Springs for more details.

4.13.5 Front end dimensions

These dimensions are measured with the front mounting plate size 5
(code D12). Dimension 'C' depends on the tires fitted and on the ac-
tual axle loads.
