This type of vehicle is restricted to the carrying the small to medium sized truck mounted forklifts depending on the maximum gross weight of the vehicle. Typically a Two Axle Rigid vehicle should have a minimum of 25% on the front axle. Care needs to be taken not to overload axles on the smaller vehicles.
Specifying as long a wheelbase as possible and keeping the overhang as short possible will give the best stability when carrying the forklift with an empty vehicle. However having a shorter wheelbase will give the vehicle better manoeuvrability so a compromise is often the result.
