Amending O. Reg. 413/05
(VEHICLE WEIGHTS AND DIMENSIONS - FOR SAFE, PRODUCTIVE AND INFRASTRUCTURE-FRIENDLY VEHICLES)

(c) do not include a self-steering axle or a liftable axle, other than a smart lift axle,
(2) Subsection 2 (2) of the Regulation is amended by adding the following definitions:
“smart lift axle” means a liftable axle contained within an axle unit or axle group that is equipped with smart lift axle technology;
“smart lift axle technology” means a system that meets the description and requirements set out in section 5.1;
(3) The definition of “tandem axle” in subsection 2 (2) of the Regulation is revoked and the following substituted:
“tandem axle” means a dual axle as defined in section 114 of the Act that does not include a self-steering axle or a liftable axle, other than a smart lift axle, and that has the same number of tires at each wheel position;
(4) The definition of “tridem axle” in subsection 2 (2) of the Regulation is revoked and the following substituted:
“tridem axle” means a triple axle as defined in section 114 of the Act that does not include a self-steering axle or a liftable axle, other than a smart lift axle, and that has the same number of tires at each wheel position;

3. Subsection 5 (2) of the Regulation is revoked and the following substituted:
(2) A designated truck or a tractor in a designated combination may not be equipped with or have controls, whether remote or manual, that would allow the driver from the cab of the truck or tractor to lift, deploy or alter the weight on a self-steering axle or a forced-steer auxiliary pusher axle of the truck or of any drawn trailer unless,
(a) the truck, truck-trailer combination or tractor-trailer combination is designed to carry raw forest products;
(b) if the truck or tractor was built before January 1, 2020, the controls,
(i) do not activate unless the emergency 4-way flashers are activated,
(ii) contain a device that prevents lifting the axle or altering the axle weight when the truck or vehicle combination is travelling at a speed over 60 kilometres per hour, and
(iii) in the case of a tractor-trailer combination, operate only on the most forward self-steering axle of the semi-trailer; or
(c) if the truck or tractor was built on or after January 1, 2020, the control is an emergency lift axle override control that meets all of the following conditions:
(i) It allows the driver from the cab of the truck or tractor to lift, alter or deploy the weight on a self-steering axle or forced-steer auxiliary pusher axle of the truck or of any drawn trailer.
(ii) It is separate and independent from the 4-way flasher control.
(iii) The words “Emergency Lift Axle Override” appear adjacent to the control.
(iv) It activates the emergency 4-way flashers.
(v) It only lifts, alters or deploys,
(A) in the case of a tractor-trailer combination, the most forward self-steering axle of the semi-trailer, or
(B) in the case of a truck, the self-steering axle or forced-steer auxiliary pusher axle.
(vi) It begins the lifting or altering of weight immediately upon activation.
(vii) It does not allow the axle to be lifted or its weight altered when the truck or vehicle combination is travelling at a speed over 60 kilometres per hour.
(viii) It fully deploys the self-steering axle or forced-steer auxiliary pusher axle,
(A) immediately upon the vehicle stopping,
(B) immediately upon the tractor power being turned off, and
(C) within three minutes after the lifting or altering of weight.
4. The Regulation is amended by adding the following section:
Smart lift axles
5.1 (1) Smart lift axle technology is a system on a semi-trailer in a designated tractor-trailer combination consisting of a load sensing control device and a lifting mechanism that,
(a) automatically and without driver action lifts one, two or three of the smart lift axles of an axle unit or axle group, but,
(i) only lifts the smart lift axles if the weight on the remaining axle unit or group will be at or below the weight limits permitted under the Act and this Regulation, and
(ii) does not begin to lift any smart lift axle if any self-steering axle is deployed;
(b) maintains the braking power of the remaining axles within the axle unit or axle group when the smart lift axles are lifted;
(c) automatically deploys all axles within the axle unit or axle group when the semi-trailer is parked, the tractor power is off or the system malfunctions; and
(d) does not cause the semi-trailer to fail to meet any standard under the Motor Vehicle Safety Regulations made under the Motor Vehicle Safety Act (Canada).
(2) For the purpose of subclause (1) (a) (i), in determining whether the weight remaining on the axle unit or group meets the weight requirements under the Act or this Regulation, the applicable weight requirements are those for the axle unit or group with the number of axles deployed.
(3) An axle unit or axle group that is equipped with smart lift axle technology must maintain, at a minimum, the fixed axles set out in the following table:
Smart Lift Technology — Fixed axle requirement

(4) In the case of designated tractor-trailer combination 7, the smart lift axle technology must prevent the lifting of only the second or third axle or only both second and third axles of the quadruple axle.
5. Subsection 15 (2) of the Regulation is revoked and the following substituted:
(2) A long combination that is a designated tractor-trailer combination 4, 6 or 7 in every respect except that both self-steering axles are raised, and in the case of designated tractor-trailer combination 7 no smart lift axles are raised, shall comply with the dimensional limits in the corresponding Schedule and not with the dimensional limits specified in section 109 of the Act, if the dimensional limits in the Schedule are greater than those in section 109 of the Act and if the gross vehicle weight of the long combination does not exceed the amount permitted in Vehicle Weight Table 32.
6. Subsection 37 (1) of the Regulation is amended by adding the following paragraph:
2.1 If the axle unit or group is equipped with a smart lift axle, a reference to a tandem, tridem or quadruple axle in an axle unit description in a Dimensional Limit Chart or Weight Limit Chart shall be read as a reference to an axle unit or axle group of the number of axles actually deployed.
