Overloading lol

Because it would overload the axles.

IMO if your a larger companies running various different vehicles you should be able to meet regulations ie you've got yard OL not too hard, big job big truck small job small truck. Now I'm not saying its easy.

My situation: transit on the drive (just), no yard so no chance of an OL let alone space for the larger truck. I don't have a car and I have worked hard to build by business but work can vary and I can't justify the rent on a yard as I just wouldn't use it enough. I do my best not to overload but sometimes it's just very hard to avoid and what would I do when my truck was in for it's regular checks.

 

I think this is systemic problem eventually going back to competition and prices but I agree if transit etc where 4500ks it would make thinks safer and easier for us all.

We've changed all our vehicles this year. In an attempt to stay legal.

 

From two transits and a small 4x4 mitzy pinin. We now have a 6 ton Iveco, 130 tipper, land cruiser and 3.5ton tipping trailer. Covers most eventualities.

Because it would overload the axles.

 

And the brakes.

 

Large trailer has its own.
