Iveco 35S12 (Pksratrans) – conversion on an Iveco chassis with single rear wheels, 3,500 kg gross weight and only 493 kg payload
The 35S12 type designation in the Iveco Daily range follows a fixed pattern: the 35 marks the weight class around 3.5 tonnes, the letter S denotes the version with single wheels on the rear axle. The operator Pksratrans fitted its own body onto this chassis, as is common for chassis in this class: cab from the vehicle manufacturer, body built to the purpose required.

The four-cylinder diesel engine has a displacement of 2,998 cm³. At a gross vehicle weight of 3,500 kg against an unladen weight of 3,007 kg, only 493 kg remain for body and load – the lowest figure in this chassis class, pointing to an already heavy body. The overall length is 6.00 m with a 3.75 m wheelbase, the width is 2.18 m, and the permitted top speed is given as 160 km/h.
At 3,500 kg gross weight the vehicle falls into EU class N1 and can be driven on a category B licence provided the actual load does not exceed the remaining 493 kg. With such a small remaining payload, checking the axle weights carefully before every trip matters more than on lighter bodies on the same chassis, since a few crates or a small set of tools can already reach the limit. The short 3.75 m wheelbase combined with a compact overall length still favours manoeuvrability in delivery work.
When buying a used vehicle with such a low remaining payload, it is worth first weighing the actual unladen weight, since deviations from the registered figure can further shrink the already tight load allowance. The rear suspension should be checked for sag and leaking dampers, given a design that sits close to the gross weight limit. The brake system and tyres should also be checked for adequate load capacity for the high unladen weight.
