Hi all,
We picked up a 2012 17.56-2 several months ago and I’ve been playing with weights and working out how best to set the van up.
One thing that is not clear is the maximum ball weight allowed. The plate shows ATM as 2225kg and GVM as 2095kg (Tare 1750kg), giving a theoretical ball weight of 130kg at maximum GVM, not very realistic with this van. No maximum ball
mass is stated on the plate.
I’ve put the van and tug over a weighbridge several times to ascertain various weights.
Actual ball weight when loaded will be quite different of course, mine is around 200kg when fully loaded.
The tug is a 120 Prado, rated capacity of 2,500kg and 250kg ball.
Is anyone aware of a maximum ball mass for this particular model and year (2012) Expanda? Just want to keep it all within limits for safety and insurance reasons.
Thanks,
Matt
