[QUOTE="Karl Barnes, post: 92194, member: 2121"] Re: A weighty question.... Thanks for the replies folks. I don't know where that rimshot quote came from. I've asked a legitimate question. I'm not aware that it was taking the p*ss. Hiring a bigger van is something we are considering, however that alters the financial situation. We're using a 3.5t Luton (box van) at the moment. The next step up is a 7.5t truck. Asides from the extra hire fee, the 7.5t truck also gets fewer mpg. The upshot is that it costs more. I'd rather leave one case of lights back at base and be within the 1.3t load capacity of the Luton than be a few Kg over and needing the larger truck. The problem is that I need to know what all the kit weighs in order to know where I stand in terms of capacity. As for sagging suspension, that's not what I said. Luton vans have leaf springs on the rear axle. What I had noticed was that the springs were well on their way to being level. Nothing was sagging and the springs were certainly not bending the wrong way. Using a weighbridge makes sense, but that would mean hiring the van to do it. What I'd really like to do is weigh each individual case so that I know where the tipping point is. If I have to leave a case of Mojo Scans back at base, then so be it. Karl. [/QUOTE]
