Frequently asked questions
How steep a slope can a golf cart climb?
Per the Finns Auto Premium Passengers specification, the 4-seater and 6-seater are rated for 40% (about 21.8 degrees) and the 8-seater for 15% (about 8.5 degrees). Treat the rating as a maximum, and plan routes well below it.
How wide must a road be for a golf cart to U-turn?
A turning radius of 3 m, 4 m or 5.5 m means a U-turn circle about 6 m, 8 m or 11 m across for the 4, 6 and 8-seater. This is our arithmetic (twice the radius); allow extra room for kerbs and parked vehicles.
How do I measure the slope of a ramp?
Slope % = rise ÷ run × 100. A ramp that rises 1.5 m over 10 m is a 15% slope. For degrees, the checker converts for you.
How heavy is a golf cart?
With batteries the 4-seater weighs 460 kg, the 6-seater 530 kg and the 8-seater 705 kg. Add passengers and cargo when you check a lift, trailer or floor limit.
Does the checker cover the air-conditioned or sightseeing models?
The figures come from the Premium Passengers platform. Ask our team for the specification sheet of any other model before you rely on this check.
