Recommended Posts

Since I've been looking to get a new(er) LDV chassis that I can put my existing tipper onto, I've got a bit confused about different specs of trucks, different wheelbases etc.

 

I got the info I needed eventualy so I knoiw what I'm after now, but I found this Convoy brochure that LDV owners might find interesting.

Apart from all the phots of what an LDV looks like before it been used by an arb company for a few years there is some interestign stuff on weights and payloads, cab v crew cab etc.

If we ignore the first colunm which is for SWB trucks that only have a GVW of 3.1t.

 

Looking at the other figures we can see that a crew cab weighs 150Kgs more than its single cab equivelent. (i.e. it has 150 less payload availability)

 

And a factory fitted steel tipper weighs 470 Kgs.

 

A crew cab and steel tipper has a payload of 1301 kgs before a chip box and tools are added!

 

I'm looking at getting and XLWB chassis cab and adding my aluminium tipper and roller shutter tool box to it.

 

Accordign to the figures above it starts with a payload of 1909kgs, so if I can build the back stuff for less than 600 then I can still carry about 1000kgs of chips! Not going to be easy!

If you open the pdf in the link in my first post and go to the last page you should be able to magnify it to see the detail. printed out its unreadable, I've enlarged it a bit I'll try some more.

Sorry no different!!

 

I quoted weights above for the 75hp model, for the 90 version you lose 6kgs of payload.

 

The crew cab chassis has a payload of 1774gs then take off 480 if it has a steel tipper.

so the ldv with c/box staff & tools unladen is 2.5t thats jolly good. my daily comes in & just over 3t unladen

 

 

Sure, if the chip box and tools and staff are only 250kgs!

 

I'm hoping to save enough weight by using an aluminium tipper and relativley leightweigh chip box and roller shutter toool box to make up a truck with equivlent payload to the standard crew cab tipper.
