Must go empty as anything on it it will be tested to max Gross train weight.
If it goes empty it will be tested to max total axle weight.and an imposed weight will be applied and you pay for the load to be put on it.No way they will try a trailer brakes with a TAW of 24 tonnes without load applied .
Its got to pull at least 50% of its gross weight on service and 16% on park.Better to take it loaded.
What the hell is the point of testing a trailer with a 24 tonne axle rating at 7 tonne unladen weight.They want to know if it will stop with a load on it.
As usual, I’m afraid, it’s a case of ignoring this crap.
