GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS 1-11 E UROCARGO Euro 4/5 In order to apportion the payload on the axles, it must be uniformly distributed except when the shape of the loading surface itself entails a different distribution of the load. As for equipment, the actual location of the centre of gravity is used. When building bodies or containers, loading and unloading systems for the transported goods must be devised which preclude ex- cessive variations in the distribution of the load and/or excessive loads on the axles, also giving the relevant instructions to the users.
The bodybuilder will also need to install suitable payload securing systems on the body so that transport can be made with the utmost safety.
