scania245: if you look at the vosa plate usually positioned in the passenger seat footwell
it should give you all the info you need . and if youre not sure just look at the plates on the wagon and the trailer find the gross weight of both then run them across a weighbridge empty . thats your net weight you then know
i can load 22 tonne etc to get your gross /max weight but when loading you must make sure the wagon and trailer are within there limits . think 40 tons
is a bit excessive on the combination you quated (bad spelling again)
six legger ok but a four wheeler
They dont fit the vosa plate with a empty weight now
when i asked when stoped why the nice lady told me it wasnt practible anymore as people kept adding weight (lights/bull bars/wind kits/bigger fuel tanks etc,etc from wot it rolled out the factory it made the plate look stupid and give the driver a false weight to add his/her load to )
alix776:
i wwould take it to a weight bridge and just find out
spelling alix theres some onthis sight that work themselves into a ■■■■■■ frenzy over bad spelling /grammar
so its would not wwould
no im not having a pop at you but some might
40 tonnes would be the MAXIMUM weight it could legally run at with a two axle prime mover pulling a three axle trailer, but that would depend on it’s plated weight, as an example we had an F12 rigid that was pulling a 3 axle trailer, but because of tax reasons it had be down-rated to only gross 24 tonnes even though axle weights were, front to back,
6.5 tonnes, 10.5 tonnes and 8 tonnes on each trailer axle, which is the same as a 113 Scania we had at the same time that can run at 40 tonnes.
with regard to your unladen weight, that would need checking on a weigh bridge. I would be most concerned about unit axle weights as you have a crane fitted, you may have very little scope for loading of one of the axles
