How do I find out the weight my van can carry?
Is it the 'Revenue Weight' as on the logbook?
Or 'Max permissible weight'?
Or 'Mass in service'?
Thx

Yeah, that's the revenue weight. I think that's the total before you add anything isn't it?
-
you have to be careful there because your gross train weight don't mean that is what the van can carry as i know it also includes pulling trailers.
i think you have max axle weight and max train weight

The plate should give you the actual weight of van (unloaded) and the maximum permissable toal weight. Just subtract actual weight (unloaded) from total permissible weight to calculate payload.
Only way to be 100% sure is to fully load van and take it to a public weighbridge where they will also check the weight load on each axle to insure they are not overladen also.

Not heard of those terms but it's GVW (gross vehicle weight)- kerb weight I believe.
With the 3 numberes you have, if you subtract one from another and it equals the third, then that should be your payload.

Hi
you can click on the picture file on the lower left and open it into your browser. You can then make the picture larger to read the detail.
If you have a van before 2005, tell us the make and model and I will give you the info from an old copy of 'What Van' that I used to subscribe to when I worked in Commercial sales
