The maximum carrying capacity determines the carrying capacity. The Highway Authority has set very strict regulations for the protection of the road and the safety of drivers.
First, the maximum load capacity of a semi-trailer, one is to see its structure, the other is to see what kind of goods it pulls.
Second, the weight of a semi-trailer cargo, depending on what type of trailer you buy, under normal circumstances, a trailer can carry 40 tons, a better one, can tow 120 tons. In addition, it depends on what is being transported, if it is a daily necessities, it is a hundred tons at most, if it is coal and steel, then it is fine. Nowadays, semi-trailers are charged by weight.
The highway department stipulates: 10 tons per axle. Six-rod with a maximum load of 55 tons. Traffic police: Under normal circumstances, the towing weight is 40 tons, and after deducting the trailer weight, what remains is the weight of the cargo. For example, if your towing weight is 8 tons, then your load is 32 tons. The traffic cop weighs the total weight of the vehicle, and if you are 16 tons (with a trailer), then your total weight is 48 tons. As for how big you can pull, it depends on your determination. In a car, the harder your heart, the more powerful it becomes. The carrying capacity of the "king of overloads" can reach one hundred and twenty tons under normal conditions.
