TAKE CARE;
you may know the total weight of the load you want to support but you cannot calculate the
exact weight distribution between support points.
For this reason always allow a 40% margin for error.
For example: a load weighing 40tonne could have a single point load of more than 20tonne and two 20tonne
supports would not be adequate.
