All,
I’ve had a few spare hours recently and thought I’d create a spreadsheet that enables people to calculate their axles weights when additional loads such as tow ball, cargo area and passengers are being added to their car. This spreadsheet was designed to utilise the information previously provided by OJ and Mundy 55 in the below linked threads. I also completed measurements on a certified weighbridge to determine how front and rear passengers affect axle weights. To enable the spreadsheet to work you must populate the data in the orange and yellow cells. All other cells have been locked to prevent inadvertent changes being made that could prevent the spreadsheet from operating correctly. If the data entered results in the maximum OEM weights being exceeded cells F16,17,19 & 20 will turn red advising of this condition.
Note: The figures currently populating the orange cells are LWB Pajero specific. These should only need changing if you are using the spreadsheet for a different type of vehicle. The front and rear weights in cells B17 and B18 are from my vehicle last weekend on the weighbridge.
I hope this comes in handy for others. If anyone can see any issues with the spreadsheet then please let me know and I can correct the errors.
Finally I’d like to thank OJ for checking my work and providing feedback on formatting etc.
Regards,
Benny
