  • Ford Trucks Tractor Series
    Ford Trucks Tractor Series TRUCKS Sharing the load It’s the way of the world... Wherever we travel, we long for those we leave behind. A burden shared is a burden halved. And that’s why we’re here: to share the load. To love takes strength. But it takes greater strength to leave the ones you love behind. The long journey may be fuelled with diesel, but it’s the little photo on the dashboard and our cherished memories that keep us going. We know how long the road can seem... How quickly seasons change and how children grow taller with every passing day. We transport tons of grain for the sake of a simple loaf shared among friends and loved ones. They say in business, “Your word is your bond”. When measured on a scale, what has greater weight than a promise? And when people have put their faith in you, who do you turn to? We will get there whichever way the road turns. We may carry a load, but we deliver a promise. Perhaps one day machines will carry our burdens as well as our load. But until then, we’re the ones on this road. Join us. We’re moving forward... They say “If you want to go fast, go alone, but if you want to go far, go together...” Sharing the load... 2 3 Ford Trucks Tractor Series: Moving forward with every new feature It’s no easy feat to carry the load across long distances on international and intercity roads. It’s hard to beat the fierce competition and even harder to find a powerful companion that will share your load… Ford Trucks Tractor Series offers high performance with low fuel consumption, thanks to the powerful Ecotorq engine.

The lead partner in the project is The Northern Region of The Swedish Road Administration and project consultant is Roadscanners Oy from Finland. This report summarizes a trial of a “Tyre Pressure Control System” (TPCS) on the A987 and B871 public roads in the Highland area of Scotland and includes inputs from other field tests in Scotland, Sweden and Canada. The work has been carried out in close collaboration with Task B2 “Developing and applying a basic understanding of low volume pavement behaviour”, the results of which are presented in a separate report. The report was prepared by Ron Munro of Munroconsult Ltd, working under sub-contract to Roadscanners Oy, on behalf of the Task B2 project team comprising Frank MacCulloch of Forestry Commission Scotland, Andrew Dawson of the Nottingham Centre for Pavement Engineering at the University of Nottingham (UK), Pauli Kolisoja and Nuutti Vuorimies of the Tampere University of Technology, Finland.

  • TIS-0012 Axle Loads and Weight Distribution
    TECHNICAL INFORMATION SHEET Axle weights and load distribution 1. Introduction This Technical Information Sheet provides guidance on where to position loads on standard 13.6 m (45’) long trailers in order to satisfy legal limits for axle weights. Note: There are many variables that affect the permissible axle loads on a vehicle: • Using 2 or 3 axle tractor units • Suspension design • Position of king-pin from headboard • Tractor axle kerb weights • 5th wheel position • Distance between king-pin and tri-axle • Fuel load • Trailer length • Tri-axle spacing • Axle design limits • Trailer tare weights on • Trailer suspension type - mechanical or • Tractor unit axle spacing king-pin and tri-axle air suspension Therefore, this Technical Information Sheet can only provide guidance for typical tractor - trailer combinations. Important note: The final responsibility for meeting legal limits lies with the driver of the vehicle being used. 2. Axle weight limits Axle weight limits vary from country to country and a list of permissible maximum weight limits for the main European destinations can be found in Table 1 on page 4. Typical axle weight limits for European freight are shown below: Two axle tractor 5 axle combination Gross Train Weight 7.1* t 11.5 t 8 t 8 t 8 t (GTW) 40 tonnes Gross Vehicle Weight Gross Bogie Weight 18 tonnes max. 24 tonnes max.
