Max Payload for T3 panel van

[StuM]

Hi All,

Does anyone know the maximum payload for a T3 Panel? I want to collect some roof tiles that I think weigh around 800kg.

Thanks,
Stu

Perfect! Thanks very much for that

Well if it's any guide, in my westy I had 40 breeze blocks, 20 house bricks, 3 bags of sand, 3 bags of cement, 3 lengths of wood.

It was low very low and the brakes struggled a little. Take it steady and watch your temp gauge

Thanks for the tips Phil.

Cheers

Mine gets used twice a week to cart furniture for a charity shop with seats down. Often have it full - 3-seater settee, books, coffee tables, lamps, all sorts. Only time it struggles is if its mostly books....

Just received a timely reminder to close this off. I completed the collection (which in the end was down a long and bumpy dirt track flooded in places!) without too much of a problem. Had to slip the clutch to get going on hill starts, but no overheating and generally all good. One thing... my suspension (shocks need replacement to be fair) dropped a lot:

Empty:



Full:



I love the new stance though

Worst part was that my dodgy starter motor (on the list!) played up whilst stopped at the yard in the middle of the woods, in the middle of no-where - thankfully it sorted itself out though else I'd have been stuffed!

My project has reached a point where I won't hopefully need any more heavy load lugging, so the van goes back to being a pampered classic rather than a workhorse!

Cheers,
Stu
