How many cubic meters can a 9.6-meter truck carry?
2 Answers
A 9.6-meter high-barrier truck can carry approximately 50-55 cubic meters of cargo. The chassis height of a 9.6-meter high-barrier enclosed truck is generally around 1.3-1.5 meters; the internal width of the cargo compartment is about 2.3-2.4 meters; and the internal height for loading cargo is approximately 2.5-2.7 meters. Suitable cargo for enclosed trucks: The 9.6-meter high-barrier enclosed truck is more suitable for transporting various valuable goods, lightweight bulky cargo, and goods requiring waterproofing during transportation. The rear of the truck is equipped with a sleeper berth for the driver to rest. According to national regulations, the cab can only accommodate up to three people. For convenient loading and unloading, the 9.6-meter high-barrier enclosed truck usually has one or two doors on the side(s) of the cargo compartment, known as middle doors. The width of these doors is generally about 1-2 meters, and the height is around 2-2.7 meters. The 9.6-meter high-barrier enclosed truck is not very suitable for transporting large equipment due to difficulties in loading, unloading, and securing the cargo during transportation. Load capacity of a 9.6-meter high-barrier enclosed truck: The load capacity of a 9.6-meter high-barrier enclosed truck is generally within 0-12 tons. According to relevant Chinese laws and regulations, the total weight of the 9.6-meter high-barrier truck, including both the vehicle and cargo, must not exceed 17 tons.
Having worked in the automotive transportation industry for many years, I have a good understanding of the loading capacity of 9.6-meter trucks. These types of trucks typically refer to vehicles with a cargo compartment length of about 9.6 meters and a width of around 2.4 meters, while the height varies significantly depending on the model. For a standard box truck, the height is approximately 3.8 meters, with a calculated volume of about 90 cubic meters. However, the actual usable space is only around 55 to 60 cubic meters after accounting for the chassis and tool compartments. When loading and unloading appliances or furniture, the stacking method has a significant impact. Neatly arranged goods can approach 60 cubic meters, but loosely packed items take up much less space. It's also essential to consider road conditions and speed to avoid center-of-gravity shifts that could affect safety. Based on experience, when selecting a truck, it's important to look at the specific design. For general freight, box trucks are commonly used, offering more stable loading capacity.
