Explanation:
Hi Tania,
If the floor will be able to support that load for each wheel, I'd just use so many kgs per wheel.

Hi Tania, the impronta ruota is the tyre's footprint or contact patch, so you could say 720 kg/wheel footprint or wheel contact patch but imo it just means there can be a max. of 720 kg on each wheel.

Hi Phil, the way I see it is - if the max weight on each wheel is 720 kg and the impronta ruota è il peso del veicolo scaricato a terra per ogni ruota
then the max load-bearing capacity of the floor will be 720 kg/wheel

I see what you mean about the two paragraphs though, the fist one sounds like a frame rather than a floor.
