Don’t know what the towing rules are in the south Toyota Land Cruiser depending on age and engine can tow 3-3.5t
Where have we established what his trailer actually weighs? We don't know what his trailer does and doesn't have on it. As I said earlier I have same trailer but 1axle less and certificate of conformity says 1070kWell I was 100kg under on the trailer weight but 200kg+ under on the towing weight of the vehicle, so 100kg out all told and that was erring on the legal side.
Given that a passenger could weigh 100kg I was a damned sight closer than anyone else talking bullocks (his trailer is a flatbed)
Stick that up your drawbar and tug it.

The trainer is a 16ft flat bed and is 7ft 4ins wide with headboard but no side boards or tail board and has a set of ifor williams ramps.Where have we established what his trailer actually weighs?

I'll wager that is north of 1100kgThe trainer is a 16ft flat bed and is 7ft 4ins wide with headboard but no side boards or tail board and has a set of ifor williams ramps.
Did you get it new? I have certificate of conformity for both mine as got them new. Only other way is get it over a bridgeThe trainer is a 16ft flat bed and is 7ft 4ins wide with headboard but no side boards or tail board and has a set of ifor williams ramps.
No bought it second hand, must weigh it some day.Did you get it new? I have certificate of conformity for both mine as got them new. Only other way is get it over a bridge
Not sure that certificate will give the actual unladen weight. More of a theoretical class weight.Did you get it new? I have certificate of conformity for both mine as got them new. Only other way is get it over a bridge

also the weights quote will be the absolute bare minimum trailer. No head board. No spare wheel. No sides etc
I'd take that to be the bare trailer.View attachment 926807
13.2 actual mass of the vehicle I assume this means the trailer as I bought it with sides ladder rack and ramps. Sort of wishing id bought the ramp door
My 16ft x 6’6” beaver tail is 900kg with headboard winch and ramps so don’t imagine a flat 16ftx7’4” will be much different!As @TripleSix says. The trailer will be significantly more than that
No - you can't put a 13 tonne swing shovel on it
So what is your towing vehicle?The trainer is a 16ft flat bed and is 7ft 4ins wide with headboard but no side boards or tail board and has a set of ifor williams ramps.
He said further up the thread but not enough info to know what it’s towing capacity is it could be 3t it could be 3.5t plus he is in Southern Ireland may well be different traffic rulesSo what is your towing vehicle?
Yes lots more info required to actually answer his original question!!He said further up the thread but not enough info to know what it’s towing capacity is it could be 3t it could be 3.5t plus he is in Southern Ireland may well be different traffic rules
Heavy duty ramps 100 kg ! How many sets of ramps ? Pretty sure mine are 17kgThe 16'x7' tri axle is actually listed at 955kgs bare. Add on about 100kgs for sides plus a spare wheel and you are easily up to 1100kgs. Heavy duty ramps, if fitted, would add another 100kgs near enough. Assuming that all those are fitted it leaves a payload maximum of 2300kgs.
Jeep brand vehicles vary greatly in towing capacity from some Wranglers that can barely tow more than 1 ton to some Grand Cherokee that can tow 3.5 tons with most models having a limit of 2.8 tons. The limit will be printed in the vehicle's manual and on its identification plate attached to the body, usually in the vicinity of the front door frame.
