I've moved a few buddy's in the past and the thing was loaded. Tires on the roof etc but never thought to take a pick. Here's one of us going over to Vancouver with a bus roof section. I thought this was a one way favour but we ended up bringing back a bug roof clip.

One pallet of ready mix, that was too much. Makes for a nice lowered look. |

As I recall, a pallet of cement mix is 2400 pounds. That is a little to much for a single cab.  We have a 77 Chevy work truck that is 3/4 ton with overload springs, and a pallet of cement makes it ride smoother.

We came across the VLA last weekend and the single cab lent a hand reconfiguring the radio antennas.

thats if there 60# there is 40 on a pallet so you are correct.. here at work we sell 80# and there in the yellow bag like that.. I know there could be different vendors and different color bags,, Either way thats alot of weight in the back of that truck.. so its 2400 or 3200 damn thats alot.. to much if you ask me but rock on  |

I don't understand your pounds and ounces stuff.  Made even worse by yours being slightly different than the Poms.

I usually buy them in 80 pound bags, and 30 to a pallet. 2400 pounds. Or how ever many of them silly kilograms that adds up to be.

Well the Kombi is built to take 950kgs.
35kg is around 80 pounds.
A handy thing is that 1kg = 1litre of water. So it makes guessing volume easier inside the van. |

Better have it sealed up well if you are going to put that much water in the kombi.
