GVM UPGRADE

Garry’s Mechanical Repairs work shop & technicians are Approved & Accredited Pedders GVM+ Upgrade Specialist. So if you carry loads for a living or are serious about what you take with you on your next journey then look no further. Pedders GVM Upgrade Solutions offer one of the best car suspension upgrades for your vehicle proudly backed by it’s nationwide network of certified installers and service centres.

When your vehicle is fully loaded for the journey ahead or if you are carrying the tools of your work trade, chances are that your vehicle may be overloaded beyond its GVM and Payload capacity and you may not even know it. Common items such as tools, tool boxes, cargo, bull bars, winches, towbars, fuel, accessories, passengers, recovery gear all combine to add weight to your vehicle and decrease the available payload. It is also important to note that if you have purchased a cab/chassis, the weight of any tray or service body is considered to be part of the “kerb weight” – therefore further reducing the available payload.

Every vehicle on our roads today has an official legally allocated Gross Vehicle Mass rating (GVM) and Payload Capacity (how much weight a vehicle can carry in both passengers and cargo in the cab and tray bed). The GVM rating is the maximum allowable weight figure (in kg’s) as specified by the manufacturer when fully loaded. It’s essentially the maximum legal weight, that you can safely drive at for that particular vehicle.

Pedders now offer a GVM+ upgrade solution for selected models to assist in compliance for GVM ratings. Through exhaustive and detailed testing, the Pedders GVM+ Upgrade Kits have been approved by the (Commonwealth) Department of Infrastructure and Regional Development.

Now’s the time to take control of the small niggling issues that may have been worrying you. Take full advantage of our qualified technicians, who will ascertain precisely what the problem is and then provide you with a perfect solution, giving you the peace of mind you need.

  • When the GVM+ Upgrade kit has been installed to a new vehicle by the trained technicians at a Pedders GVM+ certified installer, a new compliance plate will be fitted. The new vehicle can now be registered with new increased G.V.M. This procedure will allow the vehicle to be legally registered and driven in all states of Australia.
  • For vehicles that have already been road registered, the process varies from State to State. The vehicle may be required to be inspected by an authorised Automotive Engineer in that State and be issued with a compliance certificate.
