What is kerb weight?

  • I am thinking of buying a caravan. But need to know the kerb weight of my car what is it and any other advice anyone can give me. My car is a ciroen xsara picasso 1.6. I have weights in my handbook but dont know what is what. Unladen weight 1240kg gross vehicle weight 1790kg max. on rear axle 523kg gross train weight 2690kg gross trailer weight(with brakes)900kg gross trailer weight (without brakes) 650kg trailer nose weight 80kg If anyone can help that would be great

  • Answer:

    That's right, so it's essentially the unladen weight that is the kerb weight, a few kilos of tools and fuel are neither here nor there. The gross weight is the maximum safe weight of the car fully laden (internally). The gross train weight is the maximum weight of the car plus anything it is pulling, as you can see from the fact that it is equal to the gross vehicle weight plus the gross braked trailer weight. Your caravan will need to fall within the trailer weight limits, according to whether it is braked or not.

CURB (not kerb) weight is what the vehicle weighs. the same as unladen weight.

The kerb weight and the unladen weight can be assumed to be the same. There may be small differences (one may include a driver and a full tank of fuel, and the other may not) but they are minimal.

Curb (kerb) weight is the total weight of a vehicle with standard equipment, all necessary operating consumables (such as motor oil and coolant), a full tank of fuel and not loaded with either passengers or cargo. This definition may differ from definitions used by governmental regulatory agencies or other organizations. Additionally, organizations may define curb weight with fixed levels of fuel and other variables to equalize the value for the comparison of different vehicles.

The usual definition of kerb weight is a vehicle in its ready to use condition with all tools, spare wheel etc. and a full tank of fuel

The Curb weight includes the addition weight of all fluids, oils, and gasoline. If you can find a set of truck sales at a gravel /stone plant, scrap iron dump, feed company and blactop companys all have scales. Take your car to any scale and have it weighed. The result is The curb weight.
