How Many Cubic Meters Can a Dual-Axle Truck Carry?
3 Answers
Dual-axle trucks can carry 10 cubic meters. Introduction to Dual-Axle Trucks: Dual-axle trucks utilize a specialized dump truck chassis from Sinotruk Group, with the cargo box floor and side panels welded from high-quality steel, making them particularly suitable for transporting materials such as stones, ores, steel blocks, and soil. Precautions for Dual-Axle Trucks: When unloaded or not in use for extended periods, ensure the top cover is retracted within the front brim. Before starting work each day, check that there are no debris on top of the cover to prevent it from being drawn into the brim during retraction, which could damage the cover. It is strictly prohibited to open or close the top cover while the cargo box is in a raised position. Loading goods or raising the box for unloading without fully opening the top cover is also strictly prohibited.
I'm a truck driver specializing in building material transportation, driving a twin-axle truck with a front four and rear eight wheels for five years. Let me give you the exact figures: the height of this cargo box is about 2.4 meters, with a total length of 9.6 meters. Normally, it can carry around 35 cubic meters of sand and gravel. However, highways are now strictly enforcing overload checks, and the total weight including the truck and cargo must not exceed 49 tons. The empty truck itself weighs about 12 tons, so the actual cargo load can be up to 34 tons at most. For lighter bulk cargo like packed cardboard boxes, the maximum capacity can reach 45 cubic meters. Remember, when loading, the cargo must not exceed the height of the sideboards, otherwise, if caught for overloading on the road, the fine starts at 300 yuan.
I've been driving trucks for twenty years, and the loading capacity of a tandem-axle truck depends on the tire configuration. For the standard version with ordinary 12.00R20 tires, the maximum load for compacted earth is 28 cubic meters. The newer models with 295 vacuum tires can carry 3 cubic meters more on the same chassis. A crucial reminder: In southern regions, overloading by volume is checked more strictly than by weight. Last month in Hunan, I was fined for adding 15 cm to the cargo compartment sideboards and loading 31 cubic meters of coal slag. The traffic police cited me for modifying the cargo compartment, resulting in unloading, transshipment, and a 1500 yuan fine. Never try to carry more by arbitrarily raising the sideboards.
