If it's evenly distributed then 100Kg of that can be on the roof.

Until it doesn\'t rise anymore is the rule I use.

Official blurb with driver is 543 kg or 10.69 cwt which doesn't seem very high.

I also go with the theory of when it won't rise, you have too much in 8)
as I found out when I tried to leave a builders yard with concrete bricks in!!

I found that with 1200 reclaimed roofing slates distributed between the load space and a trailer, it wouldn't rise any more...

Fortunately only had 30 miles to do... :oops:
