quick question... how much weight can i put in a small hatchback?

[Jody]

We need about 10 bags, so 220 kgs... is that gonna be one trip, two trips, or three??

It's the equivalent of 2 large men so you'll be fine to do in one trip

What does the handbook say? I recall measuring the weight of concrete when I carried some paving slabs, I don't think I would have done that if there hadn't been a limit in the handbook to compare it with. Weight concentrated on the floor of the boot isn't necessarily the same as weight distributed around the seats.

Thanks guys.
I hadn't considered the weight of a couple of human beings and compared that to ten bags of gravel... otherwise I'd never have asked

Oi! I consider myself average and I weigh 95kg. Are you trying to suggest I am above average weight (i e, a fat b'stard)?

I am feeling too fat, and I weigh 87 kg. Mind you, I only have the core and upper body strength of a scrawny 12 year old boy.

Lightweight, I'm about 15kg heavier than you.

But... you are about 10-12 cm taller than us!

It'll be fine. I've loaded way more into/onto my Fiat Panda.

Next question... I need to dig up the patio to deepen the foundations

Once you've stress tested the car with the gravel, you'll know if you can use the vehicle as a skip to get rid of the dirt, thus saving on the cost, inconvenience and unsightliness of hiring one.

Why not just dig a big hole and put the dirt in that?
