For the personal equipment, according to the applicable regulations, the
manufacturer must use a minimum weight that is determined according to
the following formula:
Minimum weight M (kg) = 10 x N + 10 x L
N = maximum number of people including the driver, as stated by the manu-
facturer
L = total length of the vehicle in metres
3.2.2 Calculating the payload
Never exceed the maximum permissible gross weight in laden condi-
tion!
The maximum permissible gross weight and the weight including spe-
cial equipment fitted at the factory (actual weight) is shown in the vehi-
cle documents, but not the weight of the loaded vehicle (see sec-
tion 3.2.1). 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.
The payload (see section 3.2.1) is the difference in weight between
the maximum permissible gross weight in a laden condition and
the actual weight.
Mass in kg to be
calculated
Calculation
Example for calculating
the payload
Maximum permissible gross weight ac-
cording to vehicle documents
3500
Actual weight including basic equipment
according to vehicle documents
- 3070
This results in a permissible payload of
430
Conventional load e.g.: 3 persons each
weighing 75 kg
- 225
Additional equipment
- 40
For the personal equipment this results
in
= 165
The calculation of the payload from the difference between the maximum
permissible gross weight in laden condition and the actual weight specified
by the manufacturer 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.
