What is the typical load capacity of a truck?

[EstherRose]

Generally, micro trucks have a load capacity of less than 1.8 tons, light trucks range from 1.8 to 6 tons, medium trucks from 6 to 14 tons, heavy trucks from 14 to 100 tons, and super-heavy trucks exceed 100 tons. Below is an introduction to the hazards of driving overloaded vehicles: Damage to road infrastructure: Since the load of overloaded vehicles far exceeds the design capacity of roads and bridges, it leads to pavement damage, bridge fractures, and significantly shortens their service life. Increased danger: Overloaded vehicles have increased mass and inertia, leading to longer braking distances and higher risks. Severe overloading can cause tire blowouts, sudden swerving, brake failure, or rollovers due to excessive tire load and deformation. Additionally, overloading affects the vehicle's steering performance, increasing the likelihood of accidents due to loss of steering control. Impact on road traffic flow: Overloaded vehicles cannot maintain normal speeds, occupying lanes for extended periods, which directly affects the smooth flow of traffic.
