Which weight plate should I use? (1 Viewer)

[hornsofallign]

Hi,

The two weight plates on my Adria show different weights, but which plate should I use to help calculate my payload?

or

My guess is the second one, with the lower weights, partly because I'm not likely to be lucky enough to have found an extra 25kg payload by accident, but mostly because I google translate says "Stufe 2" means "Step 2" in german, and "FASE 3" means "Phase 3" in Solvenian. So, I guess FASE 3 replaces Stufe 2.

many thanks

Id use whatever is printed on the V5.

The converters plate. Adria.

They are numbered, alko is stuffe 2,no 2, Adria is fase 3, no 3. If you update it would be no 4. The latest one takes priority.

Thanks all. We’ve had a tow bar fitted since purchase. Would I expect them to have added an extra plate, eg no. 4?

No, the towbar comes off your payload it does not affect max allowable weights they remain the same.

If you wanted to go up by 250kg to 4500kg it would be a paper exercise with Van Weight Engineering for about£180 I think. The axle weights would stay the same.

What does your log book or v5 state

The Adria one. They might have lost 250kg on the MAM, but you've gained 150kg on the towing limit. Could be useful if towing a car.

after searching high and low, I finally found the V5 and it’s got a revenue weight of 4250 and a mass in service of 3380.
Thanks for all your advice

I’m going to investigate up plating it to see if that’s possible, Asperger’s paddymcc

Can anybody advise what the PV means on the weight plate on the side of my van?

PTAC seems to be the GVW
PTRA seems to be the GTW

Scrub that just found out via a lucky strike on Google

PV (Poids à Vide = empty weight)

PTAC (Poids Total Autorisé en Charge, total laden weight; without trailer)

PTRA (Poids Total Roulant Autorisé, total laden weight with trailer)

I would think it's the MIRO.

Your train weight would go down though
