Hi anyone know the payload for a little vauxhall combo/citreon berlingo.

 i have an old pro5 400 litre wondered if i could put it in one. suppose you are looking at about 500-600kg

 with water,hoses, poles and two blokes.

 so probably pushing it.

IMO, payload does not include people in the front.

Payload is maximum weight the vehicle is allowed to carry, so people, ladders, poles, water etc all have to be taken into account

As for payload for the combo, there are pretty much 2 versions and do not get this confused with engine size but basically there is a 1700 version and a 2000 version the 1700 has a payload of about 595 kg the 2000 has about 795kg, hope this helps

Try using that one at an official weighbridge when you've been pulled over ;D

Also need to add the weight of a tank of fuel to that on most manufacturers figures.

 Hi
 thanks guys, i would have thought i would be able to make it work  at 595 which iam su
prised they can carry.

 40 litres diesel 40k
 unit                 60k approx
 water              300k  ( 300 litres i dont have to brim it)
 poles and hoses 40k
 leaves      155 for the lads

 when one lad is working he could fill it just.

tight though.

cheers
