A few simple steps to open a vehicle
1. Choose vehicle type from Rigid, Tractor and Complete Vehicle
2. Choose axle layout
3. Choose from a selection of vehicle manufacturers and then the actual vehicle you require.
If the manufacturer of the vehicle or the particular vehicle you require is not in the list, use a Generic Template and input significant weights and dimensions from a vehicle spec sheet.
There are generic template vehicles available for both long-nose (US style) and cab-over (European style) trucks.
We add manufacturer vehicles on request. In this way, the database grows continually and all users benefit from requests made by other users.

Make changes on left, see effect on right
Once you’ve opened a vehicle, you are ready to make changes to it, to work out axle weight distribution, maximum payload and turning radius.
Design your vehicle
You can change weights and dimensions, add a trailer or add a whole range of equipment, such as bodies, fridges, taillifts, etc.
Payload and axle weights are recalculated as you go
You can immediately see the effect of any changes you make, on axle weight distribution, maximum payload and turning radius. Watch out for red, which indicates overloading and blue, which indicates underloading on an axle.
Export your design to a PDF report
PDF reports are customisable with your logo and contact details and are great for sharing with customers, colleagues, legislative bodies and more.
