How many cubic meters can a 5.6-meter rear eight-wheeler carry?
2 Answers
A rear eight-wheeler can carry approximately 25 cubic meters per load. Additional information: Scope of use for dump trucks: Suitable for short-distance transportation of various bulk materials such as aggregate, backfill soil, coal, iron ore sand, etc., with strong driving force. Basic concept of dump trucks: Composed of a hopper and a walking chassis. The hopper is mounted on the outer side of the tire walking chassis, and unloading is achieved by utilizing the inertia force of the material inside the hopper or the driving force of the hydraulic transmission system. The rear eight-wheeler dump truck adopts a top-mounted three-stage hydraulic cylinder made in China, which on one hand allows the fulcrum to move, reducing the load on the hydraulic cylinder and ensuring more stable operation, and on the other hand prevents the potential imbalance caused by dual hydraulic cylinders. The four-column hydraulic machine controls the opening and closing of the rear cover, and is equipped with a detachable arc-shaped sealing silicone ring. Additionally, manual pre-installed clamping devices are installed on both sides below the rear cover to ensure flexible adaptation to sludge.
I've been driving this 5.6-meter rear eight-wheeler for many years. The standard cargo box dimensions are approximately 5.6 meters long, 2.4 meters wide, and 1.8 meters high, giving a capacity of about 25 to 30 cubic meters. When actually loading, it depends on the type of goods. For lightweight items like foam or other light cargo, you can stack it higher to about 35 cubic meters, but for heavy metals or stones, it's better to limit it to around 20 cubic meters to avoid overloading. I once had an overloading incident where the truck tipped over due to a full load of construction materials, resulting in huge losses and a fine. So now I strictly adhere to weight limits. Another key point is securing the cargo properly. I use strong net ropes to tie everything down firmly to prevent any shaking during transit for safety. I mostly drive in urban areas, and this size offers good maneuverability for turns while providing sufficient cargo capacity for small batch transportation. Remember to regularly check the rear tire pressure to maintain balance, which saves fuel and extends durability.
