CUSTOM TRUCK LOAD KING 25-92, Installation Manual, Page: 17 / 171

INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
TYPICAL STATE RESTRICTIONS
The following restrictions are typical of most states:
Maximum overall length: 40ft (12200mm)- Some states are less restrictive but 40ft (12200)
should be the most restrictive overall length requirement.
Front Overhang 3ft (920mm)
Rear Overhang 4ft (1220mm)
3ft (920mm) and 4ft (1220mm) respectively should be the most restrictive front and rear
overhang restrictions. State and local laws should still be consulted. Also keep in mind that
in most states, the 3ft (920mm) and 4ft(1220mm) are taken within the overall length restric­
tion.
Front Axle: Many states have a 20,000lb (9075kg) GAWR single axle restriction which also
holds true for steer axles, but some states have a 12,000lb (5445kg) GAWR steer axle
restriction. Check state and local laws.
Rear Tandem Axle: All states allow at least 34,000lb (15425kg) GAWR on the rear tandem
axles.
Overall spacing between the front and rearmost axles could limit the truck to less than the sum
of the tandem and front axle limits. Check with the Federal Bridge Formula for clarification.
It is recommended that the primary installer of this crane unit be familiar with the relationship
between wheelbase and GVWR before a chassis is purchased, to ensure that the finished
installation complies with local and national road transportation laws

A note on NON-CDL truck requirements:
Under the Commercial Motor Vehicle Safety Act of 1986, Operators of vehicles
having a GVWR of 26,001 lbs or more, must have a Commercial Driver’s License
(CDL). States may establish standards that are above and beyond the Federal
Standards, check with you individual State for their exact CDL requirements
To ensure that the final, assembled configuration of the boom truck is road legal, it
is important that the assembler understand the user’s state laws as well as the
weight distribution of the components to be assembled on the truck chassis. Before
beginning installation,
AXLE WEIGHT CALCULATIONS
should be done to ensure
the legality of your finished crane.
