You forgot payload!   

[Clever Forum Name]

Ford transit van 260 with a payload of.....

GVW 2450
Axle front 1400
Back axle 1400

Ta dar

[Nick_Thompson]

Sorry, Pure, but what do those figures make the payload out to be?

[Simon Mess]

Transit 260 doesn't have a particularly high payload, I think it is around 850-900kg, but look up parkers website to find out for sure.

[Nick_Thompson]

How do we know that it a t260?

[Clever Forum Name]

Kempy got pulled at a weighbridge. Said it was a 260.

So payload will be around the 900kg

But OP will need to confirm

[chanster00]

did you really get pulled at a weight bridge kempy
?

[kempy]

Gross vehicle weight 2450
Axle 1400
Axle 1400
Towing 3500

Yep I did , it's a 650 system I had in it but I had 2 reels , some Xmas kids presents that I collected that morning in the van .
It's pure freedom steel cage with all the filters on it , I had about 550 litres in it .

Legally a 260 could carry about 500 litres if you have no filters , RO , and extra bits and bats , maybe 450 .

I got pulled in , but they were great  , I played dumb , dumped 200litres and they let me off but advised me to buy a newer van .

Hence I did T300 , which doesn't start as good as my old faithful , nice runner .
It will soon sell on the road side at my dads

Worth a read. http://www.cleanitup.co.uk/smf/index.php?topic=178760.0

[Nick_Thompson]

So, what would be the maximum, in litres, for your t300, Kempy?

[kempy]

It's a 3000 kg gross vehicle weight .
1600kg at axles

So it can carry 650 litre pure freedom system with RO filters etc mounted to it .
Probably the Di vessel , RO ,pre filters wiegh 100kg with water in them
2 reels with water
Ladder
Ladder rack

Poles.

If on yer own and no filters probably get 900 litres in ?

Not sure what payload is ,
It's gross vehicle weight is the issue

I have two 500 litre tanks in my t300 transit, but, just recently, I have decided to only fill them to the 3/4 mark and reduce the flow rate to compensate for the reduction after reading posts like this one.

How does one go about arranging a vehicle weigh in at one of these weighbridges? Do you have to make an appointment?

Go to a decent scrapyard and they will do it for a drink mate.

[kempy]

U can go to aweigh bridge anytime , if your over they are ok with you as you have come to them .
Then you simply dump your water if over .
So go there totally full , with all your full kit , and see .

1st time you won't get fined

[wightsurf]

Or go there with totally empty tanks as you know the weight of water, 1 ltr=1kg

[Nick_Thompson]

Thanks lads! I've just found out that there is a 24/7, self service weighbridge locate just up the road from where I am.
