What is the load capacity of the Magotan in kilograms?
3 Answers
Total weight is 2010KG, Magotan 1.8T curb weight 1525KG, load capacity is 2010—1525=485KG. Supplementary information about China's vehicle load capacity regulations: 1. Permissible load capacity: Permissible load capacity = truck marked load capacity + allowable overload amount + 2% specified in Article 26 of "Railway Freight Transport Regulations". 2. Hazards of vehicle overload: a) Increased braking distance b) Greater stress on tires and suspension c) Most critically - unibody chassis has limited load capacity, which may cause permanent deformation of metal components.
I've known the Magotan model for many years, and its standard load capacity is approximately 500 kilograms, which converts to just over 1,000 jin. This data comes from the vehicle's manual and represents the safe upper limit calculated based on curb weight and gross vehicle weight. In practice, it's best not to exceed this limit with all items including passengers and trunk luggage. Otherwise, the chassis will bear extra pressure, tire wear will accelerate, and even braking distance will increase. I've encountered similar issues during routine repairs: a car owner overloaded the vehicle with luggage, resulting in suspension system failure that cost a significant amount to repair. I recommend everyone distribute loads reasonably when carrying passengers or cargo, avoid taking risks for convenience, and regularly check tires and suspension to prevent problems.
I've been driving the Magotan for a while now, and I find its load-bearing capacity quite impressive. It handles daily hauling without any issues. I've transported my family of five plus a fully loaded trunk several times, and it can handle weights just over 400 kilograms. Converted to pounds, it's safest to keep it under 800 pounds. When overloaded, the body noticeably sinks, and the noise increases, which I find unsafe. I remember once on a long trip, the trunk was piled too high, and the tires were visibly deformed. I recommend always checking the user manual. While the Magotan has ample space, avoid overloading it with heavy items, especially during family trips. Keep the total luggage weight in check to prevent issues on the road. This way, driving remains comfortable and worry-free.
