if it's a 'tonner' im guessing 1 ton, im sure there'd be a way to look it up

[rumax]

As it is non-standard, I am guessing it would have to have a compliance plate. Failing that, try the rego papers. 
I would guess somewhere between 750 & 1000 KG, less the weight of the tray. But I'm no expert.

spring rate and tyre size re carry capacity / light truck tyres also come into the equation i think mate

yeah its a "tonner".
but a standard 1 tonner can carry a ton
as long as it has steel wheels (alloy mags lower the carry capasity)
so being a 6 wheeler ive heard them called a 2 tonner.
there was 1 on fleebay not long ago and quoted in the add it said
2.25 ton.
so im a bit confused to the right carry weight

there is another on ebay now 251393107830
it says 2 tonner as well.
but dosent state carry weight
i might ask him

i mainly bought it to carry a ton of sand without any drama,s
as my rodeo bottomed out and the guards sat on wheels
resulting in no go anywhere .
was funny when i think back,:)
i had to go home n return with the black maverick 4x4 and a trailer
ohh the joys of sandblasting

thats the new project 6 wheel HZ 2 tonner
found out its 2 ton, thats cool ,
beats my old rodeo hands down, 

i will restore it, matt black cab, skulls here n there
custom rear tray with redwood floor inside black steel
frame, rego it.

then fit a 1930,s to 1940,s hotrod chev or ford pickup cab etc
later on down the track.
