Hi
I've got a '95 Swift Royale 550. I can find no plates on the chassis regarding weights. I thought they were obligatorry? I have phone Swift and although they tried they had no records of my vehicle (it has an Al-ko chassis). The manual says that there was a chassis upgrade option with this vehicle (an extra 150kgs, so well worth having).
So the question is:
1) Should I have a plate
2) and if so, how do I find out what my weight limts are and where do I get a replacement?
Also, why might it be missing??
Thanks for any help.
Brett

Hi Brett, the weights stated on mine are :
Swift - ex Works Weight 2099kg, Gross Vehicle Weight 3100kg.
Fiat - Max Gross Vehicle Weight 3100kg, Max Gross Vehicle Weight including Trailer 4600kg, Max Gross Weight on Front Axle 1550kg, Max Gross Weight on Rear Axle 1700kg.
I think you'll find that the weights are uprated slightly for the Al-Ko chassis and also for Air Ride suspension but I've no idea how much. Try a search on this site using key words like weight or Al-Ko. You could also try a search on the MHF forums.
Phil.
