2.3 L2x: Centre of gravity measures

L20

=

Centre of gravity of the body from

 

 

Calculated foremost centre of gravity for payload and body relating to G53 = "Load capacity/vertical load" and G72 = "Load capacity of the theoretical front axle". L09 = "Theoretical wheelbase" is considered. Not considered is the body. L20 is only indicated, if no standard installation is carried out ex-works. The measure indication is related to the theoretical rear axle centre, definition see Measures and weights.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

L21

=

Centre of gravity of the body to

 

 

Calculated rearmost centre of gravity for payload and body related to G53 = "Load capacity/vertical load" and G73 = "Load capacity of the theoretical rear axle. L09 = "Theoretical wheelbase" is considered. Not considered is the body. L21 is only indicated, if no standard installation is carried out ex-works. The measure indication is related to the theoretical rear axle centre, definition see Measures and weights.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

L22

=

Centre of gravity of the body provided truck

 

 

Distance from centre of series bridge to theoretical rear axle centre. Is only calculated, if

  • with bridge ex-works
  • not chassis
  • not chassis for extern finalisation.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

L23

=

Fifth-wheel lead

 

 

Determined measure at installation of the fifth-wheel coupling in front of the theoretical rear axle centre see Measures and weights.

 

 

 

 

 

 

L24

=

Centre of gravity of the body in front of the wheel centre last axle

 

 

The measure L24 is necessary, because the theoretical rear axle centre would be to abstract for vehicles with unequal twin axle load.

Truck:

Distance from centre series bridge to wheel centre of last axle. Is only calculated, if

  • with bridge ex-works
  • not chassis
  • not chassis for extern finalisation.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Tractor-trailer:

Distance from centre coupling point of the fifth-wheel coupling to wheel centre of last axle.
