8.1 Axle load calculation

An axle load calculation is required to optimize the 
overall vehicle (vehicle and body). It is only possible to 
match the body to the truck if the vehicle is weighed 
before any work on the body is carried out. The 
weights measured by weighing form the basis of the 
axle load calculation.

The moment theorem is used to distribute the weight 
of the equipment on the front and rear axles. All 
distances relate to the center front axle (theoretical 
center). Mark the weight with mathematically correct 
signs and enter them in the table. The result will assist 
you in choosing the optimum positioning of the body.

It has proved useful to make the following 
calculations:

Weight

+ (plus) is everything when the vehicle is laden
– (minus) is everything that the vehicle can unload 

(weights)

Axle distance

+ (plus) is everything behind the center of the front 

axle

– (minus) is everything in front of the center of the 

front axle

Calculate the weight distribution on the front and rear 
axle using the formula:

HA

{lb})
