NTEA has launched a new Vehicle Center of Gravity and Axle Weight Calculator — a web-based, interactive tool that provides vehicle specification and weight information.
When upfitting or modifying a vehicle, these calculations produce information to share with customers, and assist in the understanding of Federal Bridge Law information — both in spec’ing prior to purchase and after upfitting is complete, according to the association.
Key functions include:
Calculations related to weight distribution, axle loads, and wheel loads.
Calculations related to the center of gravity in three axes (x, y, and z).
Various bodies, equipment, and accessory configurations.
Wheelbase adjustments and axle additions.
Federal Bridge Law information.
This tool is a free NTEA member benefit (login required) only, it is not available for public purchase. Learn more and access the calculator at ntea.com/weightcalculator.
