Gross Train Weight....

[swinny]

Anyone know where i stand with this?

 

Transit plated at 2250kg train weight but says 2800 on logbook....

 

Im up at 2250 quite a lot, was wondering which i should go by as 2800 would give more scope for a bigger chipper.

 

Cheers

The powers that be are going to look at the plate because that's what's in front of them Get an amended plate

????? Gross train weight of 2250??

 

Sounds quite light for vehicle, load, trailer and load

 

Do you mean the towing weight/allowance?

Was thinking the same, the transits we have are 3.5t gross with a 5.750t train weight . Chris might be on about a single wheel transit or a connect.

Our T350 Panel van is the same. I assume if you tow 2.8t you lose the 550kg off the van payload.

Sorry yes, gtw of 5750kg and only 2250 towing, says 2800 in logbook.

 

Sorry for confusion

As above, towing a bigger trailer means you lose weight off the gvw. The max towing weight is just a manufacturer recommendation, theoretically you could tow a 3.5 tonne trailer as long as you kept the vehicle weight at 2250kg, but I wouldn't recommend it and neither do Ford.
