How many cube does a 7.5 tonner hold?

[Martin du Preez]

Same as most i imagine the transit is an absolute bottle neck and as much as i love pretending the tip site is an hour round trip and enjoying the break its really holding me back. Does a 7.5t hold many more cube? I'm not talking about weight just hypothetically if one were to fill it to the brim. Secondly is anyone running a small hiab on theirs?

Depends on the size of the body and yes it will hold a lot more than a transit.1-1/2 ton on a transit as apposed to 3-3 1/2 on a 7.5 ton depending on what type of body again. Mate has an aluminium one on his and is legal at 4 ton carrying weight.If you have a hiab it will count toward the 7.5 ton so less carrying weight.

So the volume it can hold is significantly more?

4 ton on a seven n half!? When I was throwing cones 350x1 meter cones was 3.5 ton, throw some night lights on you'd be over. I might be behind the times, but 4 ton on a 7.5T?

Attendance is compulsory, paying attention is optional.

Those steam engines weighed a ton though, the modern diesels are lighter, so payload is increased.
