I was hoping Red Rum could answer.

The current van is rated to carry 3 prisoners on the back and has seat belts fitted etc. I am not sure load rating, but should be able to find out. Point of interest I once weighed an AU div van with myself and another member and gross weight was 2360kgs! And no I do not weight 360kgs.

I am not sure on the new van. I would think that they have to be rated etc. I wonder how they would go in testing especially in relation to a possible accident.
