Klaus,

I looked up the vehicle registration document details of C60S with licence plate BE-15-69 (all details of registered vehicles are on line in the Netherlands):


Empty weight: 5.570 kg
Maximum load: 1.052 kg
Maximum permissible weight: 6.622 kg

Normally historic vehicles will have to be officially weighed before registration, so most vehicle documents will show different weights. Compare with C60S SB-01-24, for example:


Empty weight: 5.157 kg
Maximum load: 675 kg
Maximum permissible weight: 5.832 kg

At least they are well under 7.5 tons!

You are lucky you can drive a 7.5 ton truck on a car licence in Norway, the maximum here is 3.5 tons

Hope this helps, please share a picture of your Wrecker with us!
Hanno

Klaus,

Take it to a weighbridge and get an official weighing letter. That should end the discussion with the civil servant, wouldn't it?

In Ontario, Canada we can register a gross weight of our choice between the empty weight of the vehicle and the manufacturer's rated gross weight. The licence fee (tax) and the rules governing use of the vehicle and drivers licence required vary depending on the registered gross weight. The maximum weight that we can operate the vehicle at is the smallest of the manufacturer's rated gross, the registered gross, the weight limit of our driver's licence. It does get more complex if we tow a trailer but this is the basic rule. Obviously, choosing to register a weight close to the empty weight of the vehicle will limit the ability to carry cargo. If your rules are like ours, this could help you.
Do you think that a copy of the page from the vehicle data book reproduced by Bill Gregg would help the officials to understand the original ratings? The book gives both empty and loaded weight ratings for the front and rear axles.

Hi Klaus

Look here for a little explanation. Probably your pics are too big to upload. Then you'll have to resize them first or upload them at a free pics hoster like imageshack.

Greetings
Chris
