💡 Wondering about the maximum legal load for a

💡 Wondering about the maximum legal load for a flat deck link pulled by a 6x2 single drive axle truck tractor? It’s more complex than you might think!

A FOCUS reader recently asked this, and Kevin van der Merwe from the Road Freight Association (RFA) breaks it down. 📝

To calculate the max payload, factors like the unladen mass, permissible maximum mass, engine power, and even the drive axle’s mass are critical. Simply adding up tare masses won’t do! 🚛⚖️

Want to dive into the full explanation? Check out the latest FOCUS, and calculate your truck’s load the right way! You can download the magazine for free here: https://buff.ly/3UiROg8
