There are no Indian and International standards on load bearing elements. There is a British Standard which specifies only the load requirements of Headboard, side walls and rear gate in case of sudden braking. This paper specifies in detail the load bearing elements and through Computer Aided Engineering (CAE) simulation, the percentage of load that can be borne by the load bearing elements under different types of load shifting has been determined.
