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 24tonne could have a single point load of more than 12tonne and two 12tonne supports would
not be adequate.
