This can be used to determine the weight that remains for the personal equip-
ment:
„
Determine the weight of the passengers and subtract it from the value for
the actual payload.
The result is the weight that is permitted for the actual load of the personal
equipment.
3.2.3 Loading the vehicle correctly
Large storage spaces, such as the rear storage space, also have room for
heavy objects. This might mean that the axle load on the rear axle is
exceeded.
However, the individual axles may not be overloaded under any circum-
stances. That is why it is important, at which distance to the axles the load is
stored.
To distribute the load correctly, you will need a scale, a tape measure, a cal-
culator and some time.
Two simple formulas are needed to calculate the effect of the weight of the
load on the axles:
Formulas A x G : R = weight on the rear axle
Weight on the rear axle – G = weight on the front axle
Explanation A = distance between storage space and front axle in cm
G = weight of the load in the storage space in kg
R = wheelbase of the vehicle (distance between axles) in cm
X
For safety reasons, never exceed the maximum permissible gross
weight in a laden condition.
X
Distribute the load evenly on the left and right sides of the vehicle.
X
Distribute the load evenly on both axles. In doing so, observe the axle
loads specified in the vehicle documents. Observe the permissible load-
carrying capacity of the tyres (see chapter 13).
X
Heavy loads behind the rear axle can reduce the load on the front axle
due to the leverage effect (
). This applies especially to long rear
extensions or if there is a heavy load in the rear storage space. The
release of the front axle negatively affects the driving quality, especially
for front-driven vehicles.
X
Store all objects in such a way that they cannot slip.
X
Store heavy objects (awning, tin cans, etc.) close to the axles. Low-lying
storage spaces whose doors do not open in the direction of travel are
particularly suited for storing heavy objects.
X
Stack light objects (laundry) in the roof storage cabinets.
X
Load the bike rack with bicycles only.
X
Always secure loads onto the clamping eyelets. Always use tightening
straps or lashing nets for securing the load, never rubber expanders.
Z
Only load the drawers with a maximum of 15 kg.
