4.3.2 Calculating the payload
The payload (see section 4.3.1) is the difference in weight between
z Maximum permissible gross weight in a laden condition and
z Vehicle mass complete in a ready-to-drive condition.
The calculation of the payload from the difference between the maximum permis-
sible gross weight in laden condition and the mass specified by the manufacturer
in ready-to-drive condition is however only a theoretical value.
Only if the vehicle is weighed with full tanks (fuel and water), full gas bottles and
complete additional equipment on a public weighbridge, can the actual payload
be determined.
To do this, proceed as follows:
First only drive the vehicle on to the weighbridge with the front wheels and
have it weighed.
Then drive the vehicle on to the weighbridge with the back wheels and have it
weighed.
The individual values give the current axle loads. These are important for the cor-
rect loading of the vehicle (see section 4.3.3). The sum of these values is the current
weight of the vehicle.
The actual payload is the difference between the maximum permissible gross
weight in laden condition and the weighed vehicle weight.
This can be used to determine the weight that remains for the personal equipment:
Determine the weight of the passengers and subtract it from the value for the
actual payload.
The result is the weight that is permitted for the actual load of the personal equip-
ment.
X The payload calculation at the factory is partly based on all-inclusive weights.
For safety reasons, the maximum permissible gross weight in a laden condi-
tion must not be exceeded.
X Only the maximum permissible gross weight and the mass in a ready-to-
drive condition, not the actual weight of the vehicle, is stated in the vehicle
documents. For your own safety, we recommend that you have your loaded
vehicle (with all passengers, luggage and personal objects) weighed on a
public weighbridge before you set out on your journey.
