§29.511 Ground load: unsymmetrical loads on multiple-wheel units

(a) In dual-wheel gear units, 60% of the total ground reaction for the gear unit m ust be applied to one wheel and 40% to the other. (b) To provi de for t he case of one deflated tyre, 60% of the specified load for the gear unit must b e ap plied to either wheel, except that the vertical ground reaction m ay not be less than the full static value. (c) In d etermining th e to tal lo ad o n a gear unit, th e tran sverse sh ift in th e load centroid, due to unsy mmetrical l oad di stribution on the wheels, may be neglected.
