2 Tonner car carrier

[Alien DNA]

Standard V8 1-tonner is 2660kg maximum weight, ie car and load. So it'll be probably another 500kg or so more than that for the lazy axle. So around 1500kg carrying capacity, which is OK for an LJ or whatever that ugly yellow thing is.

The biggest problem would be the length of a panelvan.....the tow cars tray would overhang far too much...rendering the project useless essentially!

A Holden wreckers down here used to have an 8 wheeler with a tilt tray and powered by a big block. Wish I knew where that one was now.

As I understand it, existing registered vehicles are ok but trying to do something new is a pain. I reckon you have it right with the "not for business use".
How would one of those handle with a car sitting right up there? Personally, I'd look at getting a smallish jap truck chassis and then whack a tonner cab on it and repower with your choice of engine.

Think the handling would be horrendous...could you imagine the body roll!!!! Dangerous to say the least. Agreed with getting a small jap truck route
