Typically, and legally, around 15 tons, give or take depending on the tare weight of the vehicle.
Depends on the length of the vehicle and the tare weight. Last tandem I drove, I could haul 15 tons on secondary roads, and 13-1/2 tons on the Interstate.
Dump trucks typically don't haul liquid commodities, unless you're thinking of snow removal operations where they'll be outfitted with prewet or calcium chloride tanks. Even with that in mind, you need to remember that there are many different sizes of dump truck out there. 15 cubic yards is "typical" for a tandem axle dump truck.
17 tons
Three - the two drive axles, and the steer axle.
Provided it's not a short tandem, 15 yards with a 'rock tub' dump body and 16 yards with a 'dirt tub' dump body are typical.
Dump trucks come in many shapes and sizes, and the same holds true with dump bodies. For a tandem, 13 - 15 tons is typical.
A standard dump truck can haul approximately six cubic meters of sand. Sand and gravel are aggregates for foundations in Philippine construction.
If a dump truck is hauling 34 tons of stone that is 68000 pounds of stone. Tons is a just a short way of saying it.
I would like to see 20 cubic yards on a tandem. I would hate to pay that overload ticket.
Legally, as much as it's rated for. The legal GVW of a dump truck depends on configuration, local law, wheelbase, and other factors. For a tandem axle dump truck, they can typically legally carry between 13 and 15 tons.
Which weight? Gross weight? Tare weight? What configuration? 1 ton pickup? Single axle Class 7/8 truck? Tandem axle truck? Tri-axle truck? Quad axle truck? Quint axle truck? Centipede? "Superdump" quint with Strong Arm? Transfer truck? Tractor-trailer end dump, or belly dump, or side dump? Try to narrow down the variables a bit. There's really no way of knowing what an "average" dump truck is without knowing statistics of how many single axle, tandem, tri-axle, quad, quint, centipede, and superdump dump trucks are out there - to the best of my knowledge, no such statistics have been compiled. At the company I work for, our tandem axle dumps (with steel dump bodies) weigh between 23,000 and 24,500... the 23,000 lbs. trucks are the Peterbilt 330s, and the 24,500 lb. trucks are the Kenworth T800s with "rock tub" steel bodies, high lift gates, and split gate beds. These are the tare (empty) weights, not the loaded weights.
