Capacity of trucks

**boybi** · June 14th, 2008 10:20 PM

How is the 13.5ton/axle load capacity computed? Does it include the weight of the vehicle itself? Kung kasama ang weight ng vehicle, for a 10-wheeler truck (2 axles), ang allowed load nya is 27 tons? So ang pwede lang i-load is 27 tons minus the weight of the vehicle?

Sir 13.5 tons per axle. so kung 7-8 tons balak nyo karga I would recommend a 6-wheeler elf kung hindi bulky ang karga nyo po. Wala po tayong weigh bridge na tinatuhan ng LTO so no way para malaman nila kung overloading. Magdagdag lang kayo ng 3-4 leaf spring sa harap and likod.

Lahat po ng trucking ito ang ginagawa even na gusto ko sumunod sa regulation e wala naman matitira sa kita kung konti ang karga

definitely kasama ang weight of vehicle sa per axle..Republic Act 8794, also known as the Anti-Overloading Law requires 13.5ton axle(to the max na eto tayo ang highest worldwide).. yun ang pag ka alam ko lang.. pero madalas hindi nasusunod due to to poor implementation... as a rule for 10wheeler with 20tones limit 20tons cargo ang borderline.. yung nga cement trailer 600 bags lagi per order,one bag is 40kilos so umaabot ng 24tons over ng 4tons? diba? so new ruling as of this year 450 bags lang dapat which is 18tons para inde hirap kaso walang sumusonod..

Ano ba actualy vehicle weight ng isang Isuzu Forward na 20-footer with aluminum closed van and Isuzu Giga 10-wheeler with 32ft wing van?

12 tons ang Giga?!?! So kung ang allowed weight limit ng 10-wheeler is 13.5 tons x 2 = 27 tons, 15 tons nalang ang max load na pwede dito?

Nope kasi yung 10-wheeler has 3-axle kaya 13.5x3= 40.5 tons less 12 tons kaya 28 tons pwede ikarga theoretically. Assuming you can load 13.5 tons sa front axle (not recommend since 2 tires lang sa harap) and if the rear tires ay center differential para equal ang weight distribution sa likod if not mas magiging mabigat ang middle axle.

Kasama pala front axle sa computation. Ang iloload ko sana is 18-20tons lang, so safe na ito na hindi mag overloading?

Pwede na po siguro ang 10-wheeler truck sa needs nyo. Pero depende din yan sa Iloload nyo kung tipikal na gamit at hindi naman mahahaba na tulad ng bakal at yero wala po problema.

Note lang just get a truck na center boogey and leaf spring ang gamit. May lumalabas na air cushion ang suspension sa likod hindi pwede kargahan ng mabibigat

Thanks sa pag sagot sa mga questions ko.

May additional question pa ako regarding sa wheels and tires naman.

Pag galing kasi ng Subic/Japan ang trucks, usually ang nakakabit na gulong is tubeless and either 17.5" or 22.5" diameter ang rims. Mas ok ba kung gawin kong 20" rims na lock type or mag tubeless na rin ako?
