Transport Vehicle Selection
Truck or trailer selection requires careful study of both the gross weight involved, and the way the weight is
distributed. Ensure transport vehicle is rated high enough to carry the system load.
Truck
Weight properly distributed to front and rear axles:
• gives the best ride and steering
• eliminates premature failure due to
overloaded axles, springs, tires, or related components
• provides necessary traction at front and rear axles
Consult your truck dealer or manufacturer for proper load dis
tribution and for recommendations in the event of
uneven load distribution or axle overload/underload.
Trailer
Weight properly distributed above the trailer axle(s):
• eliminates premature failure due to
overloaded axles, springs, tires, and related components
• provides proper tongue weight to the towing vehicle for tra
iler tracking and towing vehicle traction
Safety sign is located on trailer surface.
