Conor Posted March 14, 2009 Report Posted March 14, 2009 http://www.carandclassic.com/car/C76145/ I dont think that poor Transit can take that its bowing in the middle ,what a pratt !! It's not bowing at all. The bottom line of the doors create an optical illusion as they're not parallel to the bottom of the sill. As it's rated for 3.5t, it'll carry that VW Transporter no problem.
sebspeed Posted March 14, 2009 Report Posted March 14, 2009 I WOULD OF THOUGHT WITH THAT VW VAN ON THAT WAY ROUND IT MUST BE OVER WEIGHT ON THE FRONT AXLE WIEGHT.
bortaf Posted March 14, 2009 Report Posted March 14, 2009 Na that's well over weight, that easyly weighs over 2.3 ton empty with that steel bed (nice steel bed there by the way tales a lot of strain off the chassis) the transport weighs in at 1500Kg + Not that i'm complaining i carry'd couple of rolls royces last year on a truck that weighed 2.5T empty and they weigh in at 2T+
Daggle Posted March 14, 2009 Report Posted March 14, 2009 Its ok till you get stopped by the Police or even worse VOSA, prohibited from moving and normally fined £1 per a kg overweight. So if it was 700kg over then you could be looking at a £700 fine. Be even worse if you were involved in an accident and killed someone whilst overweight, using a vehicle in a dangerous condition could result in a charge of causing death by dangerous driving. Maximum Sentence 14yrs Oh and legally it would be dangerous as you are exceeding the manufactures plated weight, therefore putting a strain on the brakes, steering and tyres....
bortaf Posted March 14, 2009 Report Posted March 14, 2009 In my defence i only moved the rollers from one yard to another on a private farm trading estate and i only carryed one at a time obv Bought them off one banger racer and sold em to another 100 yards away easyest days work ever
FredTransit Posted March 23, 2009 Report Posted March 23, 2009 Only just noticed this! Holy shit I hope they just hitched this up to satisfy the council it's not unattended! No way that can be legal, on may levels. I have seen this truck on London Gumtree, Wonder if it's still for sale?
