The Peugeot Boxer van weights and its impressive maximum payload are part of the reason why it is highly sought after for its carrying abilities.
In this guide to the Boxer van weights there will be plenty of numbers covering all the important, need to know, bits about the large Peugeot Boxer van and its overall weight, payload, kerb weight and axle loads.
You will find out the Peugeot Boxer maximum payload, kerb weight and the overall gross vehicle weight. We’ll also cover the important weights you need to know to make sure that you don’t overload your van.
Although this is a guide to the Peugeot Boxer van weights, is also relevant for the Citroen Jumper van weights. Jumper is the European name for the Citroen Relay, which is the sister van to the Boxer.
It’s also no secret that the Boxer shares the same chassis as the Vauxhall Movano, Fiat Ducato and the Toyota Proace Max. Therefore all of the van weights you will see here are applicable to the Proace Max, Relay, Movano and Ducato van weights.
If need to know the dimensions of the Peugeot Boxer van then there’s a Peugeot Boxer dimensions guide that will guide you through the height, length, width and many more measurements.
The information in these guides will give you an idea of the overall weights of the Boxer van, they will also be useful for planning conversions like a motorhome, based on the Boxer van.
The Boxer is a popular choice for converters, and the Boxer motorhome is one the most in demand chassis. The van weights of the Boxer are critical to maximising the equipment you can get in conversions like motorhomes, but also in other conversions like tippers, minibuses or Luton vans.
There are also plenty more van payload guides available for models like the Ford Transit, Merc Sprinter and many other large vans.
The Boxer comes in a wide range of sizes which would ordinarily mean that there’s a an equally wide range of possible weights that it comes in. However, the Boxer and its siblings are quite unusual in that they all come in a single weight, with their but the important thing is that with each body variant the overall gross vehicle weight staying the same for every version.
All versions of the Peugeot Boxers have a gross vehicle weight (GVW) of 3.5-tonnes or 3500kg.
Many other large vans, especially rivals that have a huge range of body sizes (like the Ford Transit van weights) all have a variety of weights. Vans like the Transit will give their small wheelbase van a different gross vehicle weight to the large vans in the range.
Typically, large vans like the Boxer will have a range from 3 tonnes up to 3.5 tonnes, so the Boxer is unusual in that all of the models have a GVW of 3.5-tonnes.
That's only true of the diesel Boxer van weight limit, though. If you’re interested in the electric van weights of the Boxer then you’ll find that there’s an additional higher GVW. The Peugeot E-Boxer gets a higher 4.25-tonne version, adding an extra 750kg to the maximum payload, in order to make up for the additional weight of the electric van batteries.
Among the most important elements to look at on a spec sheet is the payload of a van. The amount of weight a van like the Peugeot Boxer can carry not only determines the types of jobs you can do, but it’s also linked to your earning potential.
That's why payload is so important, and why the Peugeot Boxer payload is one of its most prized assets.
With a payload of up to 1500kg, the Peugeot Boxer has one of the greatest payloads of any large van.
You won't find many other large vans at a gross vehicle weight of 3.5-tonnes that can carry more than the Boxer, or its siblings like the Relay and Movano.
The Boxer comes in three different body sizes, which is important to know because each of those lengths adds to the overall weight of the van. That makes a difference to the Boxer van payload ans each variant has a slightly different kerb weight.
Larger vans weigh more, so they get a lower payload. If you’re looking to get the best possible payload then you’ll need the smallest possible van for the job. It won’t make a huge difference, but if every kilo and pound counts, then that’s the way to maximise your payload.
On the other hang, if you're moving bigger items then you’ll need a high cube, large volume Boxer van.
The problem here is that the increased weight of the van will mean you get less payload, but in return you’ll get the additional space afforded by having a high roof Boxer van or a Peugeot boxer with an extra long wheelbase.
Speaking of wheelbases, lets look at the individual sizes for the different wheelbase Boxer vans.
Peugeot’s short wheelbase Boxer (SWB) has the highest payload of all the models. As is quite common for large vans the L or Length actually begins at L2, for the smallest size van.
The L2 van only comes with an H1 roof height. The L2H1 Boxer has a payload of 1500kg, that’s the largest payload Boxer model in the range.
A high roof Boxer van is possible, but only if you go up in wheelbase size. Specifying the Boxer high roof will mean an 25kg of kerb weight and therefore 25kg less payload.
If you want to increase the length of the Boxer van, that will take away a little more weight from the van. The jump from L2 to L3 will reduce the payload by 75kg, adding to the overall van weight of the Boxer and giving you 1425kg payload.
The L4 Boxer is the long-wheelbase (LWB) model in the range, and the payload drops substantially to just 1265kg.
That’s because of the additional weight of the steel panels for the load space. It’s the largest van for carrying, but the lowest payload van of the Boxer range.
Because the L3H2 Boxer is one of the most popular models sold, we thought it best to share the overall payload of this medium wheelbase (MWB) van.
The Peugeot Boxer L3H2 with a medium wheelbase and high roof has an overall maximum payload of 1425kg.
Weight is a bit of a catch-all term in vans, it’s possible could be looking for the maximum permitted weight, which is the gross vehicle weight (GVW) of the Peugeot Boxer and is 3,500kg.
It’s also possible you’re looking for the payload or even the kerb weight. Those details are all in this guide, but we’ll focus on the gross weight of the Boxer.
The overall Peugeot Boxer weight or GVW is the amount it can legally weigh at its maximum, which must include all the people and payload in the van. It’s also the liquids like oil and coolant, and even the fuel.
If a VOSA or DVSA official asks to put you on a weigh bridge, your van weight must not exceed 3500kg. If you tip the scales over this amount then you’re liable to prosecution as you are at an illegal weight.
The Boxer legal maximum weight is 3.5 tonnes for diesel engined vans, while the electric E-Boxer maximum weight is 4.25 tonnes. Remember, GVW is different to the overall kerbweight.
So let’s look at what kerb weight is next.
The Boxer‘s kerb weight ranges from 2000kg up to 2265kg, which is the overall weight of the van.
This is the number that is affected by the size of the van, and any equipment or modifications you do to the Boxer van. Important specification changes to the Boxer, like the choice between an automatic or manual gearbox will also change the kerb weight. And if it’s a long wheelbase, extra long wheelbase or has a high roof is also going to alter the Boxer kerb weight.
If you're wondering what is the total weight limit for the Peugeot Boxer, it is the same as the payload allowance. The two terms are interchangeable, so the Boxer weight limit is whatever the payload is.
However, there’s one other possible interpretation of what the weight limit is that you’re looking for.
Sometimes certain roads have specified weight limits. So perhaps you’re looking for the weight limit of the Boxer in relation to what roads it can travel on.
In that case, the weight limit of the Boxer is 3.5-tonne vans, which is the gross vehicle weight of the van. Even if you’re running empty, you can’t use a weight restricted road if your gross vehicle weight exceeds the stated amount.
The Boxer‘s total payload weight limit is 1500kg for the best performing van - the short-wheelbase standard roof Boxer.
Big vans are all about carrying big things, but sometimes you need to carry big heavy things too.
In order to do that you’ll need to know the payload allowance and you’ll want to have the lightest possible model to do it.
The best Boxer van model for carrying the heaviest payload is the L2H1 Boxer, that’s the shortest wheelbase and standard height roof. If you also choose the one with a manual gearbox you'll get a total payload capacity of 1500kg for the best payload hungry Peugeot Boxer.
Knowing the axle weights for the Boxer van is an important part of making sure you don't overload your van.
Fortunately, as the Boxer only has a single gross vehicle weight (3.5 tonnes) there's virtually no variation in the individual weights that each axle can carry.
The only slight chance is that the very biggest vans get uprated springs to allow you to carry heavier loads. That’s also part of the reason for the big drop in payload for the extra-long wheelbase van.
Opting for a heavy duty van increases the Boxer rear axle weight from 2000kg up to 2400kg. The front axle weight also goes higher from 1880kg to 2100kg.
Standard ratings for the Boxer van axle weights are 1880kg on the front axle and 2000kg on the rear axle.
Overall van weights for the Peugeot Boxer range from 3,500kg for the diesel and 4,250kg for the electric Boxer models. Boxer diesel vans have a payload of up to 2,270kg.
The Peugeot Boxer kerb weight ranges from 2000kg to 2265kg. It has a gross vehicle weight of 3,500kg.
The Peugeot Boxer 435 has a kerb weight of 2120kg and a payload of 1380kg, making it one of the mid-range models for overall payload capacity.
