Can a 4.2-meter high-barrier truck carry 25 cubic meters?
2 Answers
A 4.2-meter high-barrier truck cannot carry 25 cubic meters. Normally, a 4.2-meter high-barrier truck is limited to 5 tons, and when fully loaded, it can carry around 13 cubic meters. The actual capacity depends on the type of cargo being transported. For palletized goods, the height of the pallet must be subtracted. Below is an extended introduction: General Information: Typically, the internal dimensions of a 4.2-meter truck are: length: 4.2 meters, width: 1.6~1.8 meters, height: 1.6~1.8 meters. The height from the ground must not exceed 4 meters, and for vehicles transporting containers, it must not exceed 4.2 meters. Therefore, the general loading height is only about 2.5 meters. Legal Provisions: Article 54 of the 'Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China' states: The load of a motor vehicle must not exceed the approved load capacity specified on the vehicle's license. The loading length and width must not exceed the dimensions of the vehicle, and the following regulations must be observed: For heavy and medium-duty trucks, as well as semi-trailers, the height from the ground must not exceed 4 meters, and for vehicles transporting containers, it must not exceed 4.2 meters. Therefore, the general loading height is only about 2.5 meters.
I've studied the dimensions of many trucks. A 4.2-meter high-rail truck is generally about 4.2 meters in length, 1.8 meters in width, and between 1.8 to 2 meters in height. This calculates to a cargo volume of around 15 cubic meters, with 18 cubic meters being the absolute maximum. A 25-cubic-meter load would require a larger 6.8-meter truck, as the space needs to be doubled to accommodate it. Trying to squeeze it in might mean stacking goods beyond the rail height, which is extremely dangerous. Not only could you be fined by traffic police for overloading, but the risk of goods falling and causing injuries is even more concerning. I recommend measuring your truck's exact dimensions first, or simply renting a larger model to avoid wasted effort.
