GVM Upgrades and GVM Downgrades
Do you know if your vehicle is over its GVM (Gross Vehicle Mass) when fully loaded?
We can approve the LS11 modification code that was released on March 1st 2017 by Queensland Transport. The LS11 code allows for the GVM (Gross Vehicle Mass) of Light Vehicles to be increased to raise the carrying capacity. Increased carrying capacity may become necessary when vehicles are towing or are fitted with accessories such as bull bars, winches, dual batteries, spare tyre carriers or auxiliary water or fuel tanks or are used to carry a large number of tools. The weight of these accessories/tools quickly add up and consume the manufacturers carrying capacity, resulting in vehicles which are overloaded and not legal. If you are towing a caravan or trailer, the ball weight is included in calculating the GVM. Contact Coastwide Engineering Solutions for further details or to discuss the suitability of your vehicle for the LS11 modification code. Click here to view the Queensland Code of Practice for more information on the LS11 code.
