Train weight for a 16 ton prime mover

Looking at the DAF configurator, the heaviest GVW on a 16ton truck is 28ton.
Although all the above posts recognise that a two axle truck, can be coupled to a multi axle trailer, the OP specified, and repeated its actually a 16t truck he runs, and it will be limited in engine size. Thatll likely be the limit in GVW in his case, not axle weights.

EDIT. Read GTW where I`ve put GVW, sorry.

^ This ‘drawbar spec’ also means the right engine for the GTW.Not the Prime Mover’s GVW.( Unless you want a very quick 16 tonner ). :wink: :smiley:

In this case around 380 should be enough to get the job done ?.Often extending a tractor unit being a more practical solution.

A 16litre Volvo mill in a 16ton chassis? That sounds fun!

DAF CF and MX11 would do fine in this case. :bulb: :wink:
