The vehicle load must not exceed the maximum tolerances set for in the Road Reg-
ulations or the allowable tolerances specified by the manufacturer. For information on
load tolerances (overall and per axle) refer to the Technical Specifications section.
The value for the overall mass is given in the vehicle registration papers.
Remember that loading the vehicle in excess of the values given in the Traffic Regu-
lations and on the manufacturer's plate, even for short trips, runs the serious risk of
damage to the vehicle due to the excessive stress exerted on the vehicle's parts and
on the tipping components, and may also result in sanctions under Traffic Regulations
regarding overloading.
