Thanks for all the help this should satisfy the people at work

is that plated weight or design weight ?
Its plated waight Denis there is nothing in the design weight boxes.
According to a document I have from the FTA the maximum authorised weight of a drive axle is 11,500kgs, the 10,500kgs quoted above is the construction and use value.
a 40 ton 4x2 has a drive axle weight of 11500kg
a 44 ton 6x2 has a drive axle weight of 10500kg
a 44 ton 6x2 on steel suspension has a drive axle weight of 8500kg
hope this helps
