Load securing / loads
To avoid accidents and to prevent personal injury
and material damage, it is important to carefully
check the load distribution and how well it is
secured.
You should carefully load and unload your trailer, taking into
account all safety precautions required on public roads and
all accident prevention regulations.
Definition for load / mass:
Max. permissible total mass (gross weight GG)
Total mass = trailer net load capacity
–
on type plate and on the
“Registration certificate” (Part 1)
–
The total mass of the trailer may no exceed the following
values:
1. Permitted trailer load for the towing vehicle
2. Permitted total mass of the towing vehicle
Mass of trailer (own mass)
Own weight of unloaded trailer.
Trailer load towing vehicle
The permitted trailer load is stated in the registration
certificate Part 1.
Under no circumstance may the trailer load may not be
exceeded by the actual weight of a loaded trailer.
Load capacity
Max permitted load weight of the trailer in kg.
Load capacity = total mass - own mass trailer
Drawbar load (s)
The load which pressed down in the car coupling by the
trailer.
The max permitted drawbar load is stated on a label on the
trailer and can be found on the registration certificate Part 1.
Load distribution
CAUTION
Non-compliance with the drawbar
load!
If the trailer is incorrectly loaded, then
negative / inadequate drawbar load,
or exceeding the max. permissible
drawbar load can cause accidents.
The trailer could start snaking, tip over, come uncoupled -
accident risk!
Distribute the load (weight) evenly on the cargo bed -
avoid single point loading.
Distribute the load so that no negative drawbar load is
created or respectively, that the max. permissible
drawbar load is complied with.
Never exceed the max. permissible drawbar load of the
car coupling.
Where possible, make use of the maximum permissible
drawbar load (see COC papers, Section 19).
Observe the information on the maximum permissible
drawbar load in the vehicle papers for the trailer coupling.
Do not exceed the maximum permissible drawbar load
of the trailer.
- Observe the information on the maximum permissible
drawbar load on the trailer plate and in the registration
certificate Part 1.
Distributing the load on the cargo bed
Fig. 47
Positioning the load
NOTICE
Poor / incorrect load distribution of the goods!
Severely uneven / point load distribution can lead to over-
stressing and damage to the trailer components.
Position the heaviest objects centrally on the cargo bed
in the area of the axles.
Distribute the goods evenly on the cargo bed according
to their weight.
Avoid single point / one-sided distribution of the load.
Do not position the load on / over the drop sides - they
are not designed for bearing weight.
Before loading, check the max. load capacity that
you are able to transport with your trailer.
Check that the max. permissible total mass (gross weight
GG) of your trailer is not exceeded.
