How many cubic meters can a 13-meter high-barrier truck carry?

To determine the exact cubic meter capacity, multiply the internal length, width, and height of the cargo compartment. Generally, a 13-meter high-barrier truck can carry approximately 80 cubic meters. Below are relevant details: 1. Common truck types and their load capacities: 2.5-ton truck (van/flatbed), dimensions: 4.2m length × 1.9m width × 1.8m height. Actual load capacity: 3 tons/12 cubic meters. 35-ton truck (van/flatbed), dimensions: 17.5m length × 2.4m width × 2.7m height. Actual load capacity: 35 tons/110 cubic meters. 2. Relevant regulations: The cargo load must not exceed the maximum load capacity specified on the vehicle's registration certificate, and the loading length and width must not exceed the dimensions of the cargo compartment.

As a truck driver with over a decade of experience, I can tell you there's no fixed loading capacity for a 13-meter high-barrier truck. Take my job last week for example: when loading cotton quilts, we could stack them up to 3 meters high. With the truck being 13 meters long, 2.5 meters wide, and about 2.3 meters tall, that worked out to about 75 cubic meters. But when loading ceramic tiles, we could only stack them 1.5 meters high to avoid breakage, resulting in less than 50 cubic meters. For express delivery runs, we usually load around 60 cubic meters. The key factors are whether the goods can be stacked high and whether road conditions allow exceeding the 2.5-meter height limit. When loading, it's most cost-effective to place large items along the sides and fill gaps with smaller items.

Having worked as a dispatcher in a logistics company for five years, the loading capacity of a 13-meter high-barrier truck is generally calculated based on the standard of 13×2.45×2.2 meters, with a theoretical volume of 70 cubic meters. However, the actual loading depends on the characteristics of the cargo: for shock-sensitive materials like chemical raw materials, only 50 cubic meters can be loaded; for clothing and fabrics, the height can be stacked up to 2.8 meters, reaching nearly 80 cubic meters. I prepare loading plans every day and have found that the density of goods varies greatly—heavy cargo often reaches full capacity at just 30 tons, while light cargo can be packed up to 40 cubic meters without exceeding weight limits. The most crucial point is to ensure that the loading height does not exceed the legal limit of 4 meters.

In our wholesale market, we often rent 13-meter high-barrier trucks for deliveries, with freight basically calculated based on 65 cubic meters. Last month, a shipment of daily goods took up 68 cubic meters, filling the truck bed and stacking two meters high. However, when transporting glass crafts, we only loaded 45 cubic meters to avoid damage. Now we've learned our lesson: we measure the cargo volume before shipping. For lightweight and bulky goods, high-barrier trucks can hold 10 more cubic meters than box trucks, saving a lot on freight. Bottom line: don't believe transport companies claiming they can fit 90 cubic meters—80 is the absolute maximum.
