What are these weights ? (1 Viewer)

[Wizz]

I’m curious to know what the other weights are on the sticker .
I know what the 3500kg refers to but not entirely so sure about the others …..?

5500 is Gross Train Weight. All up with any trailers etc
1 is front axle max load
2 is rear axle max load

5500 Maximum Train Weight (so you can tow 2000 kg)
1860 Front Axle maximum
2250 Rear Axle maximum

The two axle weights, coming out at 4110kgs, as they do, indicate that the vehicle could have an MAM increase from 3500kgs with suitably prepared report.

Many thanks guys , all understood.

Does that suggest just a paper exercise and not any physical uprating ?

Yes

We have just done that to 4000kg without any modifications. Via SvTech.

I was surprised that I could only get to 3850 ,semi air on the rear made no difference.

The Stufe 2 suggests there was an earlier sticker or plate. Perhaps it was down plated from something over 3500kg.

Not quite right 2000kg is the maximum you can tow if you are at 3500kg with the tow vehicle , if you were at 3000kg you could tow 2500kg as its the combined mass . There may be a stated tow limit in the handbook or on towbar on some vehicles . You also have to take into account max axle weights.

You need to get to a weighbridge asap. At 3500kg you're probably overweight already.

Hi Wizz with SV Tech's assistance, we up-rated our MLT 570 to 4,050kg as a paperwork exercise. I can look out the axel weights if you'd like them.

Hi March Hare,

Thank you for that , it would certainly be of interest.

We pushed our van up to 3850, paper work exercise and cheaper road tax!

The axle weights won't change.
Its the MAM that will increase. (without modifications)

Do you have C1 on your licence? You will need it if you up-plate.

And the towing weight will decrease
