Large van weight advice

Fondmetal Evo Corse wheels with 255 65r17 tyres Pete. They ‘just’ fit with no clearance issues - no mods to the van/suspension etc. Load rated too (lots of aftermarket wheels and other makes/sizes of tyres aren’t actually technically up to the job).

Just looking for some advice, as a company we tow robo-flails, chippers etc nationwide. I’ve always liked the idea of being able to transport my green climber inside a van (better security, no need for trailer etc). As I see it I would need to up grade the suspension and get cat c onto my license - has anyone done this or know other things I need to be considering (looking at VW crafter).

 

cheers all 

I know this is an old thread, but you must already be using tachos for towing the trailers about the country?

 

You might just get 1.5t legally in the back of some of the front wheel drive panel vans, fiat/peugeot/renault etc.

 

Also, not enclosed, a small lightweight alloy recovery body might take 1.5t
