  • Passenger car trailers around how much loads? Increase empty mass to save costs?

    Hello, I have to let a trailer load up to 1350 kg. No problem from the technical point of view, all parts are suitable up to min. 1350 kg total weight. Now my question: What can be mounted “useless” on a trailer, so that one is with the payload at a maximum of 1000 kg? The trailer has an empty mass of 310 kg in the vehicle certificate. Meanwhile, however, some parts have been installed (automatic support wheel, supports, lashing booms, wheel shock absorbers for 100 km/h etc.). The total weight is currently 1000 kg. What really counts for the unladen mass? Everything that is firmly connected, or bolted or welded? Is it possible that it makes sense to have it only charged up to 1200 kg zGG due to the vehicle control? Cost yes per 200 kg zGG 7.46 Euro per year… Is it possible that another total weight makes sense to choose the towing vehicle? Mostly the trailer is pulled by a Golf 4 (empty mass 1376 kg, towing load 1400 kg, 1500 kg to 8). % incline); what are common weights of golf class vehicles? I hope this is not too confusing 😉 Greeting Pinarella

  • Reliability of usedActros or MAN on what to pay attention to

    Hello all experts, I’m looking for a used truck. I’m currently on a 2001 Actros 2535 with almost 500,000 km and semi-automatic. What do I have to consider and can you buy such a vehicle without hesitation? We drive with it max. 60-70.000 km a year. Or recommend you rather to the brands (quality spare parts etc.) I am grateful for every tip, since I have no idea of the matter. Greeting Tim

  • Experience DAF XF 105 460

    Hello together! Finally holiday I’ve been on my DAF April now 56000km and he purrs like a kitten! He hasn’t seen a workshop from the inside yet, and I hope that stays that way! The automatic switches Tip Top and the retarder brakes down the whole cart if necessary! Bed is a dream and with the standing air conditioning you can also put yourself on the ear in the blazing sun in the day without lying in your own juice! (is from the Fa. car climate and you need t no more filling up water goes with compressor)! So equipped, the word work has a completely different meaning Only the oil consumption seems to me a bit high(4l on 10000km) but the guys from DAF mean that he still goes down! Now I would be interested if you were as satisfied as I am, or I was only lucky with my truck! Greeting Eric

  • Very Questionable

    Hello colleagues, as you may have noticed, or not, a trucker (48 years old) has been convicted of negligent killing in 3 cases for 2.5 years on probation. He missed the end of the traffic jam on the A31 at Dorsten last year and crashed into the car unbraked. So far to the facts. With all sympathy for the victims/members,yes also for the trucker, who said: I confused the brake pedal with the accelerator,I couldn’t turn off the cruiser(no defense kt),new daf,wasn’t the vehicle so yet, despite instruction on the farm. I have been driving myself for 25 years,but confusing the pedals?And if it really happened that way, then I noticed in a fraction of a second,that’s not true.The truck drove several hundred meters without reducing the speed, according to witnesses.How the cruise control is switched off with the actros,is that so much different with the daf? hen, he probably had a good lawyer.But the expert and court agree (see judgment) “very questionable” What do you think about it? mfG Nobby

  • Mercedes Benz Vario 613 D or MAN 7.15

    Hello, I am currently driving a very old Vario 609 suitcase with LBW (1994/71,000 km) and due to the environmental zone between a new Mercedes Benz Vario (as had 😉 and MAN 7.15. I don’t have a large mileage with approx. 3-5000 km per year. Payload but at least 2 To. Important to me are the maintenance costs, repair, reliability, etc., whereby the Benz is the lighter version compared to MAN, so also less payload. Hold time at least 15 years planned. someone take this decision 😉 Greetings and I look forward to your help Mechel PS: Also likes suggestions of other cars or purchase of my old

  • Sunday driving ban for special vehicles (DB 814) with horse hangers

    My brother and I run a hiking ride and own a truck, which is declared as a special vehicle and a horse trailer. Since we organize day rides on the weekends and for this purpose transport our horses to the forest to ride there with our guests, we also have to take the trailer with us from time to time on Sundays. 3 years ago we were stopped by the police, got a fine over 300 € and some points in Flensburg. ( I as a holder, my In the meantime I learned from a workshop owner, who specialized in the conversion and rep. of horse transporters, that the Sunday driving ban would not apply to special vehicles with trailers. After consultation with both the registration office and with a horse management master, we could not get exhaustive information. Who can give us the right information here, because we do not want to pay again penalty and points cashie r. peterseipp
