Infographic: Transport of goods on animal-drawn vehicles

For animal-drawn vehicles, such as carts pulled by horses or other animals, the transported load must not exceed the maximum total mass indicated on the vehicleโ€™s plate. This limit is established to ensure road safety and to avoid excessive strain on the animal.

If the vehicle carries a load exceeding this limit, the driver is subject to an administrative fine, unless the situation falls under a more serious violation covered by other regulations.

In general, the load must always be appropriate for both the vehicle and the animal to prevent dangerous situations on the road.
