Site Travel Rating—Operations using vehicles equipped with liftable tag or pusher axles must not exceed published ratings. Ratings are limited to no more than five percent of vehicle operation at a speed not to exceed five mph. Liftable pusher or tag axles should only be raised (or unloaded) to improve vehicle maneuverability in off-road use or when vehicle is empty. Site travel ratings are consistent with published axle manufacturer's limitations. Axle and suspension site travel specifications must not be exceeded.
