What weight in rear?

Post by Toivi »

I have just checked and its says the caddy can carry upto 720kg, less diesel, other items, driver and passenger i make this about 450kg is this right?

I have a large compressor that i would like to move about it weights about 190kg would this be fine from time to time? Thanks

190kg should be fine. I think my passenger weighs most of that!

Don't forgot to drain the air out the compressor first (I once saw about 6 blokes trying to lift a full 200l). :roll:
Sorry chaps, much as our 2k looks nice, I prefer my Mk2. ;)

I had loads of laminate flooring in mine this week.

Unsure of total weight but could have done with an anchor to stop me!! :D

Lots of folk have motorbikes / kit in van and they would weigh 100KG for motocross to 180KG for litre track bikes so your compressor should be fine.
