3.5-tonne vans: gross weight and payload

Transport guide

3.5-tonne vans: gross weight and payload

Understand the weight designation

<p>Vehicle selection requires gross weight and cargo weight to be considered separately. Actual gross weight includes the vehicle and everything carried in it. The goods are only part of that total.</p><p>Permitted gross-weight and axle-load limits must be observed in operation. A vehicle class alone cannot guarantee a particular payload for a specific journey.</p><p><a href="https://www.gesetze-im-internet.de/stvzo_2012/__34.html">Source: section 34 StVZO</a></p>

Available payload depends on the actual vehicle

<p>The selected van's specifications determine suitability for a booking. Its body, equipment and actual loading affect how much additional cargo can be carried. Use the specific vehicle details in the offer.</p><p>Record shipment weight including packaging, pallets and other load carriers. Goods weight without these components is not enough for the assessment.</p>

Shipment shape matters too

<p>Being within the weight limit does not mean that a package fits inside the van. Check the shipment's length, width and height against the vehicle's stated door openings and load-space dimensions.</p><p>For pallets, the loaded unit's height and overhang also matter. Pallets may therefore require different amounts of space even when their footprints are identical.</p>
