Note: On July 1, 2011, section 38 is revoked and the following substituted:

Application of Vehicle Weight Tables

38. (1) The following rules apply to the application of the Vehicle Weight Tables:

1. The appropriate Vehicle Weight Table from Vehicle Weight Tables 1 to 29 applies to a non-designated vehicle or combination to which section 22 applies.

2. If a Schedule specifies one of Vehicle Weight Tables 1 to 29, the specified Vehicle Weight Table applies to a designated vehicle or combination.

3. If a Schedule specifies Vehicle Weight Table 30 or 31, the specified Vehicle Weight Table applies to a designated truck-trailer combination.

4. Vehicle Weight Tables 32 and 33 apply to non-designated vehicles and combinations to which section 22 does not apply. O. Reg. 457/10, s. 28.

(2) Where one of Vehicle Weight Tables 1 to 29 applies, the appropriate table is determined based on the number of axles and the inter-vehicle-unit distance or intra-vehicle-unit distance, with the following exceptions:

1. The maximum allowable gross vehicle weight for a 5-axle A-train double or C-train double is as prescribed in Vehicle Weight Table 8.

2. The maximum allowable gross vehicle weight for a 7-axle vehicle without a drawn vehicle is as prescribed in Vehicle Weight Table 16.

3. The maximum allowable gross vehicle weight for an eight or more axle vehicle without a drawn vehicle is as prescribed in Vehicle Weight Table 23. O. Reg. 457/10, s. 28.

(3) In the case of non-designated combinations, if the gross weight transmitted to the highway by the rearmost vehicle of the combination is not at least five per cent of the gross weight of the combination, the axles of the rearmost vehicle are not included in calculating the base length and the number of axles when determining the combination’s maximum allowable gross vehicle weight under a Vehicle Weight Table; instead, the maximum allowable gross vehicle weight of the combination is determined by adding the weight derived from the appropriate Vehicle Weight Table and the actual weight of the rearmost vehicle. O. Reg. 457/10, s. 28.

(4) If the determination of the maximum allowable gross vehicle weight under subsection (3) produces a result greater than 63,500 kilograms, the maximum allowable gross vehicle weight for the non-designated combination is 63,500 kilograms. O. Reg. 457/10, s. 28.

(5) In this section and in the Vehicle Weight Tables,

“front axle weight”, in respect of a vehicle or vehicle combination that is not an aggregate vehicle, means,

(a) for a single front axle, the axle unit weight on the front axle or, if that weight is more than the maximum weight permitted for a single axle under section 116 of the Act, the maximum weight permitted for a single axle under section 116 of the Act,

(b) for a dual front axle, one-half of the axle unit weight on the dual front axle or, if that weight is more than one-half of the maximum weight permitted for a dual axle under section 116 of the Act, one-half of the maximum weight permitted for a dual axle under section 116 of the Act, and

(c) for a triple front axle, one-third of the axle unit weight for the triple front axle or, if that weight is more than one-third of the maximum weight permitted for a triple axle under section 116 of the Act, one-third of the maximum weight permitted for a triple axle under section 116 of the Act;

“intra-vehicle-unit distance”, for a five or six-axle vehicle without a drawn vehicle, means the greater of,

(a) the distance between the centres of the second and third axles from the front of the vehicle, and

(b) the distance between the centres of the third and fourth axles from the front of the vehicle;

“number of axles” means the total number of axles on a vehicle or vehicle combination that are deployed. O. Reg. 457/10, s. 28.

(6) In Vehicle Weight Tables 1 to 29, subsections 25 (4) and (5) apply and subsection (5) of this section does not apply in determining front axle weight on an aggregate vehicle. O. Reg. 457/10, s. 28.

See: O. Reg. 457/10, ss. 28, 32.

Configuration Description

Designated Tractor-Trailer Combination 15 is a combination composed of a tractor and a hinged single semi-trailer. The front axle of the tractor is a single axle with single tires. The drive axle of the tractor is a tandem axle. The semi-trailer consists of two portions permanently attached by a dual hinging system designed to prevent rotation (roll freedom) between the two portions of the semi-trailer. The front portion of the semi-trailer has a tridem axle and the rear portion of the trailer has a tandem axle.

The forward hinge of the dual hinging system allows at least 22 degrees horizontal articulation in either direction from the straight position. The rearward hinge allows the rear portion of the trailer to articulate downward, but does not allow upward articulation relative to the front portion of the trailer. The hinge position shown in the diagram refers to the articulation point of the forward horizontal hinge. The position of the rearward hinge is not controlled.

DESIGNATED SADDLEMOUNT COMBINATION

Configuration Description

A Designated Saddlemount Combination is composed of tractors, trucks or both. The second and any subsequent vehicle is connected to the vehicle ahead by means of a saddlemount device which performs as a fifth wheel assembly. The combination consists of two or three motor vehicles whose wheels are in contact with the highway. Only the rearmost such vehicle may carry an additional vehicle whose wheels do not contact the highway.

Qualifying Preconditions

Equipment and components, see ss. 5, 8

Exceptions

A Saddlemount Combination is exempt from the Overall Length (1) and Height (3) limits set out in the Dimension Limit Chart below if all vehicles in the combination (including any fully loaded vehicle) face forward. The following limits apply to exempted Saddlemount Combinations:
