Formulary Axle and Payload Distribution

Axle- and payloads and their distances to the center of gravity

German version

The calculation of the distribution of loads on the two axles is the same as with platings (statics e.g. of buildings). The formulas develop from the axiom that the moments around the two axles adjust themselves.

G · l2 + F · l4

F1 =

l

G · l1 + F · l3

F2 =

l
