iveco plate question (1 Viewer)

[Wanderlust]

Hello all
Just put a deposit down on Carthago with an iveco chassis and whilst there got a heap of photos to look over later, when I arrived home I noticed this, not suggesting anything sinister but where did Carthago get the extra 200kg on front from ?

I wonder if they have uprated the tyres?

These are standard on 50C chassis I believe,
195/75 R 16 . Loadindex 107/105

I believe the 50C can go to 5800kg but not sure what mods it requires.

Hello Martin,
That's a possibility, one thing I didn't photograph....it does have vb full air 3c but not sure that would appear on the Carthago plate.

That would give you the update on the front axle I think.

Ahh great, mystery probably solved, looks like the VB was factory fitted then, I bet that wasn't a cheap tick on the options list.
Thanks

Normally 2100kgs front & 3700kgs rear except australia where front is 1900kgs.

It's a MY2007 so not sure if newer variants have higher rating maybe.cant see anyone importing from there.

None of the option boxes are cheap just check what tyre rating it has 110/108 would give you the 2100kg front axle loading.

Looks like 1900kg was pretty standard to me,

I will check, was a 950 mile round trip to view so cant just pop round, van in Cornwall me in Northumberland. I did look at the tyres, checked for cracks, tread depth didn't ever enter my mind to check tyre rating, this Forum is not just a tool for info but you get free tuition too

Ooh spec sheet , I looked this morning, didn't see that one, I need to improve my googling skills.

Check the date code on the tyres as you may need 6 new ones anyway so you could get a better load rating set of them.

Yes will do, looking at Norway next year, hopefully setting off April March time for approx 3 months (covid permitting) so winter/snow probably.
