3.3.2
Calculating the payload
The payload (see section 3.3.1) is the difference in weight between
z
Maximum permissible gross weight in a laden condition and
z
Vehicle mass complete in a ready-to-drive condition.
The calculation of the payload from the difference between the maximum per-
missible gross weight in laden condition and the mass specified by the manu-
facturer in ready-to-drive condition is however only a theoretical value.
Only if the vehicle is weighed with full tanks (fuel and water), full gas bottles
and complete additional equipment on a public weighbridge, can the actual
payload be determined.
To do this, proceed as follows:
First only drive the vehicle on to the weighbridge with the front wheels and
have it weighed.
Then drive the vehicle on to the weighbridge with the back wheels and have
it weighed.
The individual values give the current axle loads. These are important for the
correct loading of the vehicle (see section 3.3.3). The sum of these values is
the current weight of the vehicle.
The actual payload is the difference between the maximum permissible gross
weight in laden condition and the weighed vehicle weight.
This can be used to determine the weight that remains for the personal equip-
ment:
Determine the weight of the passengers and subtract it from the value for
the actual payload.
X
The payload calculation at the factory is partly based on all-inclusive
weights. For safety reasons, the maximum permissible gross weight in
a laden condition must not be exceeded.
X
Only the maximum permissible gross weight and the mass in a ready-to-
drive condition, not the actual weight of the vehicle, is stated in the
vehicle documents. For your own safety, we recommend that you have
your loaded vehicle (with all passengers, luggage and personal objects)
weighed on a public weighbridge before you set out on your journey.
