Going by this front axle 7700 kgs so ok 16975 front axle
But how do you interpret this
Feature
Weight Limit
a) by manufacturer’s axle rating or default
i. GAWR (if verified),
FRONT AXLE MAXIMUM (LOWEST OF A, B AND C)
Feature
Weight Limit
a) by manufacturer’s axle rating or default
i. GAWR (if verified), or
ii. If GAWR not verified, the lower of:
1. 5,000 kg, and
2. the sum of the maximum tire load ratings
b) by tire width
11 kg × combined tire widths in mm
c) by axle unit description
Single Axle: 7,700 kg -
Examples
If you have a 12000lb axle with G or H rated tires your max is 12000lbs
If you have a 13200lb axle with G rated tires with a load rating of 6160lbs each as singles your max would be 12320lbs. With H rated max load is 6600lbs as a single. You could max out @ 13200.
if you have 385/65R22.5 L rated tires that are rated for 11000lbs each and a 22000lb axle your max weight is still 16940(7700kg). Unless you have it Permited then your max would be what the permit is for up to 22000lb.
I could be wrong but that is how I understand it. Maybe someone more experienced in heavy haul in Ontario can weigh in an correct me if I am wrong.not4hire and aaronpeterbilt3787 Thank this. -
