Sometimes, bringing about the safe recovery of a vehicle, can be as much about having the right information, as technique and equipment. For example, if you have to pull a vehicle out of a ditch, do you do it with the truck in attendance or do you need something with more pulling power? In such an instance, it is invaluable to know the kerb weight of a vehicle and there is a very useful site on the internet where you can access this vital information.

www.cuddles.abelgratis.net/kerbweights.htm has kerb weights for just about every car on the road and many that have all but disappeared. It is a user site aimed primarily at caravanners, so don’t be fooled by the basic presentation. It is packed with useful information that could just be invaluable to you on your next job.
