1 Answers
17.5-meter-long trucks have a load capacity of 40 tons. The cargo weight is calculated by subtracting the trailer's own weight from the load capacity. A truck is a commercial vehicle used for transporting goods, which can be broadly categorized into standard trucks, container trucks, and full-trailer flatbeds. Below are definitions of various types of trucks: Mini trucks: Mini trucks are a type of truck. According to China's motor vehicle specifications, 'mini' is defined as: vehicle length ≤ 3.5m, total mass ≤ 1800kg. Light trucks: Light trucks refer to N1 category vehicles in the N-class truck classification with a maximum design total mass not exceeding 3.5 tons. Dump trucks: Dump trucks are vehicles that unload cargo by hydraulic or mechanical lifting, also known as tipper trucks. They consist of components such as the vehicle chassis, hydraulic lifting mechanism, cargo compartment, and power take-off device. Heavy trucks: Heavy trucks are the abbreviated term for heavy-duty trucks. This is an authentic, traditional, and informal term for heavy-duty trucks and semi-trailer tractors, including various specialized vehicles seen on highways (such as water tankers, fire trucks, road sweepers, tanker trucks, mixer trucks, etc.), dump trucks (earth-moving trucks, all equipped with lifters), cargo trucks (for transporting goods, including livestock), and some less common off-road vehicles (mostly military).
