transit carrys 2.5 tonnes. and if you where to fill a dumpy bag

 

I'd get yourself weighed tare, then check what max. gross weight you can go to..I think you're in for a shock.

transit carrys 2.5 tonnes. ...

 

Not legally!!

 

And there is no way there is 2.5 ton on that transit, it would have to be piss wet Beech full of lead shot

 

You are mixing weights and volumes which is always dodgy.

[skyhuck]

I,ve always thought a transit could carry one and three quarter ton?

 

If your lucky!!

 

Most once you fill them with fuel, add a few tools and some bodies in the cab struggle to "legally" carry 1ton.

I used to have an E-reg Transit tipper which used to tare off at 2,200 kg without any tools on. I never looked at whether individual axles were over or not.

well lads you need to put your prices up.. mines selling at £258 for a full tipper, (6 cubes) mind you its all ash.. peoples screaming for it:001_tongue:

 

Putting aside the weight issue, I reckon you should have some greedy boards up or risk loosing some of youre load and at the same time cause an accident. Just an observation

I thought 1 ton

[Mesterh]

If thats 6 cube then I regularly drive around with 12+ cube of chip

 

Its more like 3 at the most id say.

Your'e getting a very good price for it though

[Mick Stockbridge]

I thought 1 ton

 

One and three quarter ton. I put a question mark on my previous post for fear of annoying someone. But the truth is one and three quarter ton.

come on lads .. lol... read the script properly....

the transit carrys 2.5 tonne. which is 2500kg max carrying weight..........

then if i load up with 6 cube, at 300kg each cube = 1800kg in total log weight..

dont like to upset people,,,,,, just had to put my point forward..

that looks to me like a brent eleigh body, correct me if im wrong. i had the same body on my truck. i replaced the sides with aluminium planking, 2 and a half sheets wide which brings the sides slightly higher than than the standards, approximatley to the height of your rear posts. the new sides sit on the outide of the posts unlike how the standard ones fit flush which gives even more area. the inside measurments of my truck to the top of the sides is 2.84 cm3 which would pit your sides at approcimately 2.55 i would say. i reckon you are looking at a touch over 4 cube there.....but i can gurantee, and will happily put a substantial bet on it that it is not 6 cube.
