    I plan to buy a concrete mixer semi, the trailer have 3 axles and a 13m3 capacity.

    I try to figure out if i can legally load 12m3 and get close to 50tonnes which is the limit here in norway. The trailer have a 24ton capacity on the axles according to regulation.
    The tractor have the following limits:
    Steer: 8500
    Drive: 11500
    freewheel: 9000

    How can i figure out what axle configuration is beneficial for the tractor? and how do i establish the placement of the 5th wheel.

    I could figure this out by weighing and i will probably do, but before deciding what to buy im doing investigations.

    Thank you vey much
