Notes:
1. Nominal gross axle weight rating is based on minimum axle mounting centers of 38 in. and a maximum
track width of 73 in.
2. Track widths are nominal and may vary with wheel equipment.
3. All ratings are for standard track width housings. Track increase over standard is produced by wheel
outset .
4. Site Travel : 5 miles per hour maximum speed with liftable axles raised. This condition should not exceed
5% of the total operating miles of the vehicle.
5. The usage of single tires on single drive axles may be prohibited by the tire manufacturer. The tire
manufacturer may also limit the rating of the tire based on the load per tire and the pressure, which could
be less than the approved axle rating.
