Title: 1087KG payload
Post by: Clever Forum Name on February 23, 2014, 04:32:29 pm
700L tank and twin man setup are we looking at being overweight?

Without seeing the weighbridge readout, i would say yes. Maybe not by a huge amount.

I have a 500l tank and a 900kg payload and work alone, my customers weighbridge had me 40kg under my gvw.

I think i remember you saying you where around 15stone?
15stone is around 90kg (i think)  so if thats 2 of you you're now at 880....
200kg left to play with, i think if you carried the bare minimum you should be touch and go but ok....
If you like to carry alot of stuff then i think you may just go over....

I have about the same payload, but only have a one man set up with a 650 tank (dunno why 650, never use that much in a day) and an around 130/140 under

Yeah I thought so. Gonna be overweight easily.

Being doing the math and will my van and the extra water extra person. Extra battery hose reel etc I would say a good 150kg over.

Looking at a min of 3000GVW then for the van.

At least 3000kg gvw, but 3300 would be better imo. Transit 330 springs to mind, and from looking on autotrader and ebay recently there seems to be quite a few around (must have been some large nationwide company replacing their fleet?). They are front wheel drive swb semi high roof versions, in silver with the 110ps 2.2 engine (not the 2.4 you get in the rear wheel drive ones) and 6 speed box. mileages vary from about 55k upwards, and prices seem to start at around £6.5k.

Burnt tree purchased then back. All 200 white and silver.

Then they traded some.

They tick all the boxes apart from the age.

Don't want a 2008 van.
