Why is a load distribution plan especially indispensable when transporting individual, very heavy cargo pieces with a truck?

Because otherwise there is a danger that the required minimum axle load on the drive axle is not reached

Because otherwise there is a danger of loading a heavy load too far back on the vehicle. Then the maximum permissible rear axle load can be exceeded

Because otherwise there is a danger of loading a heavy load too far forward on the vehicle. Then the maximum permissible front axle load can be exceeded

Because otherwise there is a danger of loading the cargo too far beside the longitudinal axis of the truck

To the side, the skip container must be placed form-fit against sufficiently dimensioned stops

To the front, the skip container must be placed form-fit against sufficiently dimensioned stops. These stops must be able to absorb at least 50% of the total weight of the container
