Note 1: General situation, drawing does not adapt to input- and calculated values.
Note 2: Group A and B should have less axles than Group C and D if need be.
Note 3: In case of 3-point suspension Group B = 0.

NOTES:
• Gooseneck and self propelled PPU are always at the Group A and B side of the transporter.
• The transverse transporter gradient will be kept within +4 and -4 degrees with the road by the transporter operator.
• Calculations are based on transporter driving in normal mode, not in transverse mode.
• All assumptions are highly estimated, and therefor not allways according to the drawings.
• Road gradient is included in lashing and structural calculation but not in hydraulics calculation.
