What is the legal load capacity of a front-four-rear-eight truck?
1 Answers
According to traffic regulations, with a maximum overload limit of 30%, the legal load capacity for a front-four-rear-eight truck is 38 tons, and it can carry up to 49.4 tons when overloaded by 30%. Below is relevant information: 1. The vehicle's registration certificate will indicate the standard load tonnage or the legal passenger capacity. When the vehicle is on the road, the legal load must not exceed the percentage specified on the registration certificate. The specified capacity may vary for different types of vehicles. 2. The front-four-rear-eight configuration is a category of commercial vehicles, meaning the front steering wheels consist of two axles with four wheels, and the rear drive wheels consist of two axles (or bridges), with each set having dual wheels, totaling eight wheels. Common front-four-rear-eight vehicles include various dump trucks, heavy-duty trucks, and trailer trucks, which fall under the heavy-duty vehicle category. These vehicles have high load capacities and are often used for construction, transportation, and other purposes. Heavy-duty vehicles refer to M-class and N-class vehicles with a maximum gross weight exceeding 3,500 kg. These vehicles typically use multi-axle tandem hydraulic suspension systems and are generally used to transport large cargo items whose size and weight exceed the limits set by road traffic regulations.
