The D
C
value:
•
for the coupling device is directly indicated on the type plate of
the coupling device/in the operating instructions/in the vehicle
registration certificate of your tractor.
In case of differing values on the type plates of the trailer
bracket and the coupling device, the lower value shall be
relevant.
•
for the drawgear is directly indicated on the type plate of the
drawgear.
Example
Gross vehicle weight rating of tractor: 14 t
Admissible axle load(s) of rigid-drawbar trailer: 18 t
D
C
= 9.81 m/s² x
14 t x 18 t
= 77.2 kN
14 t + 18 t
5.2.1.3 Calculate tractor's admissible towing capacity
The lowest D
C
value of your tractor's coupling device or of the drawgear of your rigid-drawbar trailer
determines the admissible towing capacity C of your tractor. In case of rigid-drawbar trailers, the
tractor's towing capacity is equal to the axle load(s) of the rigid-drawbar trailer.
The admissible towing capacity of your tractor determines the admissible load capacity of your rigid-
drawbar trailer. This calculated towed load/axle load must not be exceeded when charging your rigid-
drawbar trailer.
