Sv Tech costs

[colyboy]

Not wanting to get involved at the moment with SvTech could some one let me know roughly what they charge for upgrading the weights on my MH. Thanks

The other place will do it for much less. Can't remember the name though.

I think Minxy Girl has had dealings with them.

 

[Vanman]

I think it's very dependant on what, if anything needs to be done. It can just be a paper exercise or it can involve tyre / suspension changes. It doesn't hurt to give them the spec. and ask them.

Yup, the dealer we got our Carthago from had only had it registered at 3700kg (max weight via Carthago) but we'd specifically told them we wanted 3850kg and had it put on the purchase paperwork, so I contacted SVTech and got the gen on what the cost was which came in at £312 so fortunately the dealer paid for it.

If you contact the other company, Van Weight Engineering I think they're called, I believe the are about half the cost.

Just make sure you get your C1 licence before you uprate your Van.

Van weight Engineering charged me £160 this week. Am uprating my Twin to 4000kg. Could have gone to 4300kg.

VWE have quoted me £160. 3850 to 4350 but I will need air assist but thatt ain’t cheap

If it's an Alko chassis you're looking at £2,000+ if not then stop whinging!!!

 

[Kevmand]

Air assist £250 off eBay and if you know a spanner from a screwdriver max 4hrs to do a simple fitting. Dee Thorne at van weight engineering probably no more than £175 to upweight.

 

[Derek’soldvan]

To downstate it cost me I think £120-140 sorry can’t remember exact amount

 

[Realist]

Cost me £80 via emails and phone calls using SvTech.

Are you sure last time I used them it was £312 & that was a few years ago.

Two years ago SVTech uprating exercise was £312 for us.

Presumably manual pump etc ??

 

[David and Sally]

Other than a few quid, any downside to going 3850kg to 4350kg?

 

[Howard B]

Yes. I have haveonly had to to up a couple of times.

I can whole heartedly recommend Van Weight Engineering. Our replating was unusual and they went way beyond what I considered good service. And they were successful- SV Tech said “There are no options for your vehicle”.

£160 if it’s just a paper exercise (I.e. no mechanical mods needed)

 

[suavecarve]

I will have to uprate when my van comes and will be adding air assist.
I have uprated (paper exercise previously) with John Russell £150 5 years ago.

If I put the air assist in how does the uprate go ? I tell them I have air assist and they uprate to 4350 instead of 3650 ? I would have thought I will have to take it in somewhere for somebody to check my the father in laws mechanical skills or for them to put the air assist in ?
