Evaluation In the example shown you receive four weighing results. Assume you had made
a note of the values listed here.
These values allow you to determine the total weight of the truck crane and the
axle loads for the individual axle lines.
For the total weight
• Add together the four results.
For the axle loads of individual axle lines
• You must determine the weight of the associated axle group and divide it by the
number of axle lines.
Example for the 3rd axle lines
– Determine the weight of the axle group
The axle group 2 was weighed with the scales W3 and W4.
• Add the weighing results.
– Determine the axle load of the 3rd axle line.
Axle group 2 has 2 axle lines.
• Divide the weight of the axle group by the number of axle lines.
Passenger side: W1 = 5.8 t, W3 = 11.8 t
Driver's side: W2 = 5.8 t, W4 = 11.8 t
Passenger side: W1 + W3 = 5.8 t + 11.8 t = 17.6 t
Driver's side: W2 + W4 = 5.8 t + 11.8 t = 17.6 t
Total weight = 35.2 t
Passenger side: W3 = 11.8 t
Driver's side: W4 = 11.8 t
Weight of axle group 2 = 23.6 t
Axle load =
Weight of axle group 2
=
23.6 t
= 11.8 t
