2.1 Weights/axle loads
The weights and axle loads (permissible/unladen) for the Crafter body variants - panel van, vehicle chassis with cab/crew cab can be gleaned from the illustrations in the download area. For the chassis with wind deflector (without roof and partition), a minimum weight of approx. 50 kg should be applied compared to the chassis with cab.
Warning:
In order to assure sufficient steerability of the vehicle, the minimum front axle load must be 25% of the overall weight.
The unladen weight specifications refer to the standard vehicle equipment (inc. driver, tools and filled tank). Weight tolerances of + 5% are permissible, as per German road traffic regulations, and should be taken into consideration where appropriate.
If special equipment is installed, the unladen weight will be increased. If necessary, the final unladen weight should be checked on a weighbridge or similar.
