The weight of a Luton box van is made of a combination of three different types of weight. The empty weight (kerb weight) ranges from 2,288kg-2,500kg, the payload (how much weight you are legally allowed to carry in the back of the van) ranges from 1,000kg-1,212kg and the GVW (gross vehicle weight) must never exceed 3,500kg (3.5 tonnes).

Luton Van Capacity Information
Every Luton box van has a maximum GVW of 3,500kg but the empty weight does vary from model to model, so does the payload capacity. Payload capacity can, in fact, vary by as much as 212kg. The empty weight is what determines the van’s maximum payload capacity:
Payload capacity + empty weight = GVW (3,500kg)
How To Calculate A Luton Van’s Weight Limit
We know that every Luton box van has a maximum GVW of 3,500kg. Working out its empty weight or its maximum payload can be done using the following equations.
GVW (3,500kg) – Empty Weight = Payload Capacity
GVW (3,500kg) – Payload Capacity = Empty Weight
The weight of the payload plus the van’s empty weight should never be more than the GVW of 3,500kg.
Why Is it Important to Know The Weight Of A Luton Van?
If you knowing the weight of a Luton van it helps you decide which of the makes and models on the market is best suited to your needs.
Normally, all that a driver needs to know is which vehicle has the biggest payload capacity. Vehicles within the Luton category always have a maximum GVW of 3,500kg unless it is stated otherwise on the van’s VIN plate.
The unladen weight of a Luton box van will determine its payload capacity therefore how much weight (in kilos) you are legally allowed to carry in the back.
