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 suspension GVM Upgrade Solutions offer one of the best 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 suspension 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.
