Uprating Transit Zefiro to 4000kg (2 Viewers)

[Ianto]

Looking at buying a new Zefiro Sport model so as to be able to transport enduro bike to events. Seen a lot of people uprating so as to allow this. Any info on what I need to do .? As to be honest I haven't got a clue.?

Contact SvTech. They are the experts.

Normally Vanweightengineering is the place to go but they are unavailable at the moment.

As above contact SVtech with your details and you will likely be able to uprate to 4100 kgs without doing anything to your van (I used to have one on same chassis and uprated)
They send you through the stuff to send off to DVLA.
10 days later you get a new log book and then a refund on the tax amounting pro rata to 200 quiddish p.a

I’d say VWE is a little more than unavailable at the moment!

You won't gain anything up-plating unless the bike is carried forwards of the rear axle so may not be worth the bother

ie the maximum load on the rear axle is often a limiting factor, aside from gross vehicle weight.

You never know unless you try.
