For homes between 8 & 12.2 metres in length there should be a minimum of 4 support points on each longitudinal member (in addition to those either side of the axle support area).
For homes over 12.2 metres and up to the maximum legal length of 20.00 metres there should be a minimum of 6 support points on each longitudinal member (in addition to those either side of the axle support area).
Axle stands may be used as a permanent means of support. The supports should be sufficient in number and be cable of withstanding the load of the finished home and all anticipated imposed loads. The home must be supported in accordance with clause 6.6 of this code.
Axle stand manufacturers must have their axle stands independently tested and the maximum safe working load clearly shown on the stands (e.g. stamped or permanent label).
If a concrete block is used as a means of support it must be certified to BS EN 771-3 and used in the correct plane.
