Heavy Vehicle (Mass, Dimension and Loading) National Regulation (NSW)

This section applies if—

the mass of the drive axle within a particular axle spacing on the eligible vehicle is permitted by the Euro VI vehicle mass transfer allowance to be increased by up to 0.5t; and

the increase would otherwise result in a breach of the mass limits for the axle groups and any single axles within the axle spacing.

Subject to subsection (3), the mass for any single axles and axle groups within the axle spacing is permitted to be increased but must not be more than the mass otherwise permitted for the axle spacing increased by the same amount.

However, the increased mass must be offset by adjusting the masses on the steer axle or twinsteer axle group, whether within the same axle spacing or different axle spacings.

Note—

Requirements about the mass of a heavy vehicle relating to an axle spacing of a heavy vehicle are referred to in section 5 of Schedule 1.
