IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING BTC UPGRADES

Kit includes a Lovells 1200lb Weight Distribution Hitch system (WDH) with 95mm height adjustment (Ball weight must not exceed 400kg)
Please note that the Lovells BTC Upgrade can only comply if a Lovells GVM Upgrade is fitted to the vehicle.

GVM AND BTC EXPLAINED

Note that The GCM (Gross Combined Mass) doesn't form part of a Lovells GVM or BTC Upgrade or noted in our DIT Approval for Second Stage of Manufacture. The new GVM of the vehicle basically governs it, and the maximum braked towing capacity (BTC).

The Original Equipment maximum braked towing capacity for example on the LC200 is 3500kg. This doesn't increase nor decrease when our GVM Upgrade is fitted, it remains at 3500kg. The new vehicle GVM becomes 3800kg (LC200) as noted in Lovells SSM (Second Stage of Manufacture for GVM Upgrade).

The factor that comes into play is the ball weight of the towed apparatus. Whatever the ball weight is, must be subtracted from the vehicles GVM. Therefore, the vehicle can still tow up to OE 3500kg. If the ball weight is 200kg, the vehicle's maximum GVM (with a Lovells GVM Upgrade kit fitted) will now be 3600kg for the LC200.

GCM is not noted or listed as part of our Approval. Whereas, when a Lovells BTC Upgrade is fitted, the vehicle can then tow up to 4000kg. Yet, if the ball weight remains at 200kg, the vehicle’s maximum GVM (with a Lovells GVM Upgrade kit fitted) will still be 3600kg for the LC200).

NOTE: Lovells BTC Upgrades can be supplied under State Compliance (for already registered vehicles) and the vehicle individually engineered for the State of registration. Includes State engineering certificate or certification plate.

WHY DO VEHICLES REQUIRE BTC (Braked Towing Capacity) UPGRADES?

Need to protect Business, Managers from claims for breaches of OH&S rules and employee negligence.
Possibility of Insurance companies to void payout if the vehicle is towing beyond approved Braked Towing Capacity.
Possibility of litigation under common law if is vehicle operated beyond its legal Towing Limits.
