Weight of a Mk11* Carrier
Can anyone give me a definative answer on the weight of a Mk11* Carrier based on actually weighing one.
I am assuming approx 3,500kg unladened but others are saying less. I need this information to make a decision on what size truck to move my carrier.

Carrier Weight
Neil,
The page below gives a weight of 5 tons> http://www.mapleleafup.org/vehicles/carriers/index.html Wikipaedia gives the weight as 3.75 tonnes. This site gives the weight as 4.31 tonnes. http://www.stenboye.dk/carrier/ And this one gives a weight of 4 to 4.5 tons. http://www.angelfire.com/art/enchanter/bren.html There again, there are those on the Forum who will leap to your assistance with utmost alacrity  Paul.

In Greggs "Canadian Military Vehicle Series, Europe WW2", the fully laden and equipped weight is stated as 9800lbs.
I have always reguarded the average restored carrier to be around 7000lbs, considering that one rarely has two full petrol tanks, no ammo, no personal kit, few tools etc. A truck of suitable towing power (like a chev2500) equipped with a flatdeck trailer w/ 2 x 3500lb axles should do. I think this is what Stewart Loy uses to cart his around with...
