4.2 Weight distribution, CoG height, anti-roll bars
4.2.1 Weight distribution
Avoid one-sided weight distribution.
The wheel load (1/2 the axle load) may be exceeded
by no more than 4%. Observe the tire load capacity.
Example:
• Permissible axle load 5,000 kg
• Permissible wheel load distribution 2,600 kg to
2,400 kg
4.2.2 CoG height
For approval of the vehicle with body/implements
mounted, a calculation of the height of the center of
gravity of the laden vehicle must be submitted in
accordance with EC Brakes Directive 71/320/EEC.
The calculation basis for permissible heights of center
of gravity can be requested from the department
responsible É 2.1.
For CoG height of the kerb weight, see "10.3 Weight
distribution table" É 10.3.
MITSUBISHI FUSO cannot vouch for the handling,
braking and steering characteristics of vehicles with
attachments, installations or modifications for
payloads with unfavourable centers of gravity
(e.g. rear-mounted. overheight and side-mounted
loads). The vehicle body/equipment manufacturer/
converter is responsible for the safety of the vehicle in
the case of these bodies.
4.2.3 Stabilizers roll control
Make sure that the vehicle you are building is correctly
equipped. MITSUBISHI FUSO provides stabilizers as
factory equipment for different model series, and does
not offer optional stabilizers for any model.
a Risk of accident
The body must be designed in such a way that a
placing of excessive load weight at the rear is
prevented. It is important to comply with the points
listed below, otherwise the necessary steering and
braking forces for safe vehicle operation cannot be
transferred to the road.
